Yes, aren’t they wonderful? We had two swallowtail caterpillars in our volunteer garden this week. The Speckled Wood butterfly was on the Elderberry bushes. I was so excited that I instantly contacted the butterfly Conservatory here. These were wonderful finds.

They could find any in extra small sizes. Also if they don’t ride public transport they don’t need them.😂

I was hoping that I would get to see the butterfly but… that didn’t happen yet.
