I counted twenty little green black zebra swallowtail caterpillars. They were hugely busy.
Then as the plant became more decimated some of the little green guys moved on elsewhere to find shelter for their cocoons, I guess, unless a bird or two picked them off.
They left behind lots of little green peas of poop, which probably are pretty good for that potting soil!
THey are very pretty for a caterpillar. Proof again that if you plant it, they will come.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to plant some parsley just for the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteCaterpillar flash mob!
ReplyDeleteNo matter what volunteers to grow in a garden, some critter will volunteer to eat it. Lovely little caterpillars.
ReplyDeleteThey did a number on that volunteer.
ReplyDeleteHandsome looking caterpillars! I guess on the green plant they are camouhflaged.
ReplyDeleteWow! Way cool!
ReplyDeleteWell easy come, easy go as far as that parsley is concerned. What a treat to have these beauties guesting over.
ReplyDeleteI don't get around to blog visits all that often anymore. I so appreciate that you still stop by with such encouraging words. You're a gem!
As pretty as they are I have to say they give me the creeps. LOL
ReplyDeleteLOVE this Tabor, love every single word and capture. Spiders are delightful creatures, and they keep my roses healthy and pest free.
