I took these a few weeks back hoping to have a photo of the butterfly to go with them, but no such luck, I must have been at work or another place when they came out of their cocoons :(. I only saw one Black Swallowtail butterfly in my yard this year and by the time I got my camera she was gone. They are probably my favorite butterfly as they were one of the 1st ones I was able to lure into my yard years ago with fennel.

Beautiful caterpillar, I have never had the chance to see one in person or the butterfly they become.
Your macro photographs always amaze me. Beautifully captured!
Incredible macro.

They are so beautiful, what a pity that you couldn't see the butterflies too.

They are such beautiful caterpillas. It would be lovely to see the metamorphosis to butterfly!
Great shots of the caterpillar! Wish I could claim I took them. :)
What a handsome caterpillar...what beautiful colors.
Fantastic shots of the caterpillars. They are colorful.
Beautiful photos - and that caterpillar is really very colorful!
I stalk them out on the prairie, I too plant food for them.They move their wings a lot when eating so have to shoot a lot. I have never done the fennel, but see it being used on a favorite cooking show a lot.I use the seed.
Nice shot. I had a parsley plant that one day disappeared. On the bare branches were about 8 of those caterpillers.
As I researched how to over winter them, something had caterpiller dinner and all were gone.
Wish I had gotten a picture like you did.
Love the details of your photos of the caterpillars. Crisp and vivid colors.
Those photographs are amazing and that caterpillar is just beautiful. Lovely.
Such a pretty caterpillar.
