Not as Gross as the Last One

A few days ago, Jeff found a caterpillar in the garden - again - and called me out to look at it and take a picture of it, if I wanted to.  I did.  :)
This caterpillar is rather striking in appearance; and although it was familiar to me, I admit that I had to look it up to see what kind it was.  Turns out to be a black swallowtail caterpillar, which turns into a truly beautiful butterfly.
And best of all, it wasn't nearly as gross as the last caterpillar he wanted me to photograph.  ;-)

  1. This one is really pretty! God's creation is so... creative! I would love to watch one of these "hatch" into a butterfly.

  2. This one is missing traveling buddies. He does look a whole lot better.

  3. Well, caterpillars are Public Enemy #1 in the garden, but still ... that is really beautiful. As has been said - God's creation really is stunning.
