Quiet Time

Our monarch and swallowtails have been raised and released, but one species yet remains:


... bookworm.

    Too cute!!

    I'm thinking we may try to do the raising caterpillars this next year. Where do you get yours? Any thoughts on starting it for a newby?

    This year we got our caterpillars from two sources. Our swallowtails came from my parents' herb garden and our monarch from the bush in front of a friend's house. There was so much interest in this topic that next year I plan to write a caterpillar raising post at the beginning of the season with some tips for sucess, so to speak! :-)
