Judy or David---

Saw this caterpillar strolling over the bricks oin my shed landing.
Don't know where he was headed....????

I put him on a small piece of decayed wood so i could take these pictures.
What moth or butterfly..or whatever.. is this cat to????

I tried to make it 'at home" in a small plastic container with the piece of wood,
that it would not let go of, and put some parsley stems in it.

Pic #3 is of the ONLY Swallowtail cat I have at this time. haven't seen any more...
He/she will be very lonely.....I have quite a few swallowtails in my garden...
mostly the yellows. Have already picked up 3 perfect specimens (dead) on
my patio floor. They are so beautiful!!!

I See a dark ones too now and then. don't have one for my collection yet....
