Hello!
This is an update on the two swallowtail caterpillars living in our butterfly cabana. :)

They ate two dill plants and I placed a parsley plant yesterday. We saw some black gunk that my youngest declared 'yucky and cool'.

We just checked on them and one seems to be getting ready to make its pupa.

The other one, much larger, seems less ravenous than before, but still eating a bit.

What do you think? I hope they make it...
Gardening is cheaper than therapy!
Boricua in Florida, I guess that makes me a Floridicua!
