How cool is that! Did you ID it before it emerged from its chrysalis?Scott - Colorado Springs, CO - Zone 4/5 (Depending on the year) - Elevation 6266ft

I had been seeing some caterpillars eating a parsley plant. I just happened to look and see it on the fig tree with the chrysalis.

I was watching 5 on my parsley plant and had watched some last year on a dill plant. When they disappeared I thought maybe a bird had eaten them. After reading up on them, I learned that they like to travel a distance once they are ready to go into their chrysalis.Originally posted by vito12831 View PostJennings, Southwest Louisiana, Zone 9aComment
