I've been gardening this summer, mostly just Tomatoes and Peppers, but I have a parsley plant that my aunt started for me. I nibbled a bit but haven't really used it for anything really. Well, last week I went outside to water and found these guys!
Swallowtail caterpillars
Little babies (believe it or not, this is about the size the one in the first picture was when I discovered him)
All three just hang'n out.
My new obsession has been to check on them pretty much all the time. Watching them munch away and grow bigger. I can only hope they decide to make their chrysalis on the plant as well.
In other news, I've been doing a lot of food experiments for my lunches the last few weeks, and with a bit of a push from some friends decided to start up again on Lisa's Tiny Kitchen. I plan to share recipes, tips, ideas and ramblings, so you should definitely stop on by! Today's post: Citrus Roasted Chicken!
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I have to be heading off to work here soon, but it's a fun job so I'm not complaining. ;)

They are soooo cute! I'm always excited to see how they're doing.
ReplyDeleteThey stripped my parsley last night, and the one is HUGE now!
