Hey Solly! Look what I found in MY backyard!

[Callalily]

Eating my parsley. I'm okay with that!

[Solly Mack]

1. What a beauty! A parsley caterpillar!

Gonna be a swallowtail one day.

Great shot!

Thank you, Callalily!!

Bug!

I love bugs!

[Callalily]

6. Yes, he sure is a beauty!

[Solly Mack]

7. I'm jealous. All I've gotten so far is moth caterpillars

and not the pretty kind either.

Though I'm sure they are fine specimens for their type.

(Felt bad about calling them not pretty.)

I love bugs - even the icky ones.

If he hangs in and goes to the next stage for you, we'll need more photos! (Please)

[Callalily]

8. I too hope he'll hang around.

And if he does, definitely more photos will be forth coming.

[Doreen]

2. Oh, so pretty.

[RandomAccess]

3. Hah! Apparently eating quite a lot of it

Lil fatso.

4. We purposely

plant curly leaf parsley for swallow tail butterfly to lay their eggs on. So far this year we haven’t seen any unfortunately.

5. Green overdose.

Now I have to go find some warm colors to bring me back.

I can pretend to be a tough guy, but I'd jump a foot in the air if I saw that crawling on me. Great pic though. Just closer than I want to be.
