By the way, Drusilla is the Swallowtail caterpillar we found in the backyard. I figured I wouldn’t ever be able to persuade Paul to name a pet or a child that in the future.
So I put her and the carrot tops in a box. She stayed through the night but when I got home from work the following afternoon she was gone. But Paul found her (we are going to pretend that it is the same one, ok?) on some Queen Anne’s Lace in the yard. She has been there for several days!
I liked how this picture came out…
hanging upside down 
She was really going to town on this plant. Queen Anne’s Lace is a member of the dill family which makes sense! Then Paul checked some of the others around the yard and we found some other friends.
Slightly different coloring but these are also Black Swallowtail caterpillars.
There were two! We are calling them Tweedledum & Tweedledee.
Love the pictures of Drusilla. How do you know she’s upside down in that one picture? I had your birthday down as tomorrow. Guess I’m late. Happy birthday anyway, girlie. 28 this year, right?
