Walked out to the barn and noticed this beauty enjoying my Rue (Ruta graveolens) |

| Yay! I've been teaching people not to kill them when they find them on their parsley, fennel, or dill. Most people actually freak out when they know it's going to be a butterfly. That's why I educate. I just tell them to plant a couple more plants than they really need and move the cats over to one of those "sacrificial" plants. That way, everyone wins! |

| Swallowtails are some of my favorites and I was delighted to see this out there the other day. My rue is always alive with beneficial insects and that's why I grow it in numerous places around the property. |
