Don't forget the rue!!! They prefer rue over dill, parsely and fennel in my yard. Not sure why - must be a south Texas thing? Lots of homes have rue in their yards - there's an old wive's tale about planting rue, rosemary and some other herb I can never remember - to bring good luck. Maybe that's why I haven't won the lottery - I keep forgetting the other plant?!
Anyway...here's a couple of BSTs on rue - the caterpillars range from the black, white and orange look to the usual lime green, yellow and white I'm used to seeing. Not sure if they were different species of swallowtail - guess I'll never know since I didn't raise them in a cage and allowed them to wander off to pupate.
