Elpha...The BST cats will enjoy your bronze fennel, no worries. You might want to get another plant or two since the female BSTs will be continously laying eggs now that they have found it. They will also use parsley and dill. Be careful when you water it not to use a stream that would knock off small cats or eggs. They don't eat much when they are small but that one you are showing is getting pretty big and the appetite increases with size.
Are you going to try to raise them inside? It is so easy and protects them from praying mantis, lizards, frogs, birds, and wasps etc. If you are interested check out the links in the "sticky" thread at the top of this forum.

Great shots of your TST siouxsie!! I don't get those. I do think the other is the Spicebush Swallowtail, but I didn't look it up, and haven't seen them in my yard.
