Here's some cute swallowtail cats I collected yesterday. There's still tons in my garden, but I'll start with these. The last batch of eggs that hatched in the garden ended up as bird food, I think, so figured this time I'd rescue. Once the ones in the garden get bigger, I'll get them too. Hopefully by then some of these will be in their chrysalis stage. I hope I don't run out of parsley! It's funny, the last batch were on the fennel. Guess it just depends on the mood of the butterfly as to where she lays eggs! I'm definitely planting some more fennel this fall.
