Caterpillar's everywhere


The past week I have seen an increase of the Eastern Black Swallowtail caterpillar on the curly parsley, dill and fennel that's in both the front and back yards. In one area I counted over 50 caterpillars in all stages. Now they are marching away to go into the next stage of their transformation into a butterfly. I am hoping that most of them will overwinter to become the first generation of butterflies next spring.
