Exactly 1 week ago my mom asked me what kind of caterpillars were on her parsley. She thought they were either a monarch or a tomato worm, if it were the latter it would have been evicted. I grabbed my macro lens and fired up the internet (In that order - photos first! I donβt want to miss an opportunity!) This will be one of few truer to size images, since macro lenses get you up close and personal with small objects, thatβs what I intended to use it for. ππ΅π»ββοΈ A quick search informed me that, though often mistaken for Monarch caterpillars, this is a Northern Swallowtail Caterpillar. And they actually turn into some strikingly beautiful butterflies! For the past week I have been researching and documenting them, I forgot to mention - there are 2! I hope youβll stick around and enjoy the (so far) week long journey I now refer to as #thecaterpillarchronicles ππππππ . . . . #backyardwildlife #northernswallowtail #caterpillar #butterfly #metamorphosis #parsleyplant #animallover #animalphotographer #wildlifephotography #petphotographer #animalsofinsta #animalsofinstagram #photographer #lifeofaphotographer #photooftheday #photographylife #propetpix #julieannbloniaszphotography (at Sixteen Acres) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCUyb0apwOA/?igshid=101ag1ck0r6ne
