Butterfly Wrangling ??




W--e--l--l.........we planted a couple of parsley plants,thinking SwallowTail butterlies like 'em.Okie-doke.We'll get some parsley plants and then we can attract Swallowtails.....................


How little did we know,just how much they like 'em..........................


Soooo,now we figure we're into butterfly wrangling.................







Hope we don't have to rope and ride these bad boys.....................






Actually,we're looking forward to their Chrysallis stage.




And the dawning of a new generation.................


and that's our Vanilla World,these days.

Holy crap that is cool. I'm lucky if I spot one caterpiller a summer and look at what you have. So where is the shot of the giant creepy crawlie spider about to eat them? lol :) Great close up shots.
