This little guy has just about defoliated the dill plants. It’s doubled in size since yesterday. #blackswallowtailcaterpillar https://www.instagram.com/p/ChTAFvIulWQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Isn't this Black Swallowtail Caterpillar so colorful? It is begging me to paint him. I just might. 🐛 Oooh, I could come up with a knitting pattern and knit myself a sweater like it. Halloween maybe? Maybe next year. The way things are going who knows if we are having it. We'll see.

Feasting on a buffet of #dill #parsley #carrottops & #queenanneslace my hungry little Black Swallowtails are growing and doing fine. Check them out! They also love celery greens, fennel, parsnip greens, or anything else that's also in the parsley family. #blackswallowtail #bughobby #entomology #insects #buggirl #insectphotography #insectlovers #blackswallowtailbutterfly #instar #blackswallowtailcaterpillar #animals #naturephotography #caterpillars #caterpillar #larva #pupa #chrysalis #metapod #caterpie #bugkeeper #worm #greencaterpillar #hornedcaterpillar (at Pixieland Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChC5y6bLhOu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Saw two of these little guys. They are Black Swallowtail Caterpillars. They ate all my parsley, bastards!😭😂I am not mad, a little disappointed. But they are gnarly!!!! A little information: The host plants of the Black Swallowtail butterfly include such plants as carrots, parsley, dill, fennel, Queen Anne’s Lace and rue. The Anise Swallowtail caterpillar feeds on anise as well and reportedly citrus plants also. Many of these plants can be found relatively easily in garden centers and nurseries around the country. That makes it easy to find host plants to plant and to get more food for your caterpillars if you find yourself running low. However, there is a risk that the growers used pesticide on the plants which will kill the caterpillars. Ask before you buy and be sure to clean (rinse) the vegetation once you get it home. It’s always best to grow your own if you can but that is not always practical for everyone. #blackswallowtailcaterpillar #caterpillar #parsley #nomnomnom these guys were in my apartment after bringing in my parsley from the fire escape.

It was so fun, amazing and a great experience to see a catepillar morph itself into a butterfly. Such an amazing process if not almost like a miracle. I freaked out when I saw it this morning. I was filled with excitement and had the urge to cry. Wildlife and nature is very inspiring! I didn't see it fly off, but I hope it fulfills its potential and makes more babies before it dies. #blackswallowtailcaterpillar #blackswallowtail #catepillar #butterfly https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJCgKkp2s5/?igshid=qmubslz1b4rh

So this morning, Uncle hatched from his cocoon and I let him go. I was a little sad. But it saw him struggling, as if all he knew was freedom. I was careful put him in a container and released him. It’s a humid day and lots of birds in the air, so I worried about birds eating him and rain. But I didn’t want to attempt to keep something so wild and pretty. #blackswallowtailbutterfly #blackswallowtailcaterpillar #chrysallis #release #freedom (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMENWSgP0X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pixl3fvy1lmv
