Last year we had lots of black swallowtail caterpillars, they would get big and disappear. I am guess they they crawled off and hid to build their crysallis(I know I spelled that wrong). This year, we have hardly had any, we have lots of dill. I was excited to see a small one today, then as I was watching a waspy/yellow jacket zoomed in and ATE him!!! What do you do about caterpillar eaters? We have a small beginner butterfly garden in our back yard. Last year we had lots of black swallowtail caterpillars, they would get big and disappear.

I've hardly seen them with their wings open either. I think this one might have been injured though. Brooke - thanks for stopping by! I love butterfly gardening so much - if you want any help with it, please let me know! Lori - thanks! I’ve hardly seen them with their wings open either.

It is unusual to see on with the wings open, although I have seen them do it in the fall. You can tell it by the orange and black eye and the tiny tail near the eye.
