I found a swallowtail egg on some fennel while taking a walk, and thus began my search. Fennel grows in huge clumps all over around here, especially along freeways, etc. Once I started looking, I discovered a big cat on some fennel right next to the freeway exit near my house. I've also found 4 more eggs, and a smaller cat as well. The original egg just hatched tonight! I can't believe how tiny the little cat is...I practically need a magnifying glass to get a good look at it. Here are the two cats I collected...the big one crawled over and checked out the little one last night, and then crawled back over to his side again.
