I've watched the Black Swallowtail Butterfly find the right plants, lay the eggs and then flutter off. Several days later ~ there they are ~ the green munching machines!

But strangely I have never run across the caterpillars or seen a chrysalis. Two years ago I did see a caterpillar for a Luna moth. They are massive and it did some serious eating on my river birch tree. Most times I love critters, just not fond of the ones that make it inside my house!
