J: Very nice, I love the little Cabbage Whites and I think I saw one a few days ago but didn't have my camera with me at the time. Grumbling

Debra: Great shot of that beautiful Swallowtail!

Well the little tiger swallowtail caterpillar I've been raising turned green, so now I'm sure it's a Two-tailed Tiger Swallowtail!
Hurray!

I meant to post about the Pipevine Swallowtails, too...but my computer just suddenly gets too slow sometimes, so I didn't. Here's a couple pics of the ones I released. Four emerged, so far, one chrysalis left in the cage....and one caterpillar had escaped in my house and couldn't be found. Maybe it pupated somewhere. So I could be in my house and a dark butterfly could all of a sudden fly by me! Wouldn't be the first time!
