The Caterpillar
We found this caterpillar devouring a dill plant in our garden.
The female Black Swallowtail deposited her eggs on the plant.
At this stage the caterpillar’s only function is to eat as much as possible.
The Chrysalis
Comfortably enclosed in it’s Chrysalis the caterpillar is morphing into a beautiful Black Swallowtail.
Female Black Swallowtail
After two weeks enclosed in it’s Chrysalis, the female Black Swallowtail has emerged.
