We went to dinner and when we came back we had a lovely swallowtail! We took her outside and she sat on the screen for a moment or two and then took off! It was too dark to get a good picture (didn't think to take one in the house.)
This could be addictive. I used to have a lot of parsley, now my husband is referring to the caterpillars as my 50 cent a day habit. ;*>
Here's a picture of them from this morning.

My first butterfly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo Jenny! It's exciting isn't it?
Looks like you have quite a few there!
You better go get some more - parsley, dill or rue. That one plant may not hold up for that bunch. The good part is that they don't eat as much in volumn as monarchs (or poop as much).

That's the truth.....those monarchs are little piggies!
