The first Black Swallowtail butterfly was ‘born’ today. The high heat, present even in the morning, sped up the drying process, and the butterfly was ready to fly within two and a half hours. I took the butterfly enclosure outside, and the new butterfly easily flew into the world and quickly disappeared. Success!
I like the way the photo shows the web they spin to anchor themselves in place. Due to the number of caterpillars I was able to save, I’ve had a few mishaps. I’ll post some of the solutions later in the week.
What a cool shot

It is, I find the web they spin fascinating. Usually it is invisible, the flash really highlighted how much silk they spin.
