Number four of our second small army of black swallowtail caterpillars freshly hatched this morning. Only seven more from this group, then eleven from our third and last group still slumbering. It's been an honor and a privilege to help shepherd just that much more beauty into this crazy world.

One of the benefits of raising #butterflies is you get a chance to take closeup shots of them like this. This one is a female - the males have less blue and more yellow on them.

My first #blackswallowtailbutterfly has hatched today! Seven more goth #butterflies to go if things go well.
My #blackswallowtail #caterpillars are getting pretty huge. The parsley plant is getting defoliated pretty bad too, hope these guys like eating stems.
