A couple of weeks ago, we found a cute stripey caterpillar on one of our dill plants. He was getting very fat so we brought him and a supply of dill flowers into the house in a jar. In a couple of days he had pupated in a very pretty green pupa hanging from a stick. This morning, we came downstairs to find a beautiful Eastern black swallowtail butterfly in the jar. He stuck around for a few hours to visit and then flew off to join his friends.
