Rare swallowtail caterpillar
Today I found this beautiful and huge caterpillar sitting on my dill (Anethum graveolens) in the veggie garden. 
Tumblr media
It is (or will be) a swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon) which makes me really happy because they have become so rare that they are now a highly protected species in Germany. Hopefully it will develop into this
Tumblr media
It´s been featured ages ago on one of our stamps.

Watch "Pipevine Swallowtail Caterpillar | Cute Caterpillar #shorts #cutecritters #caterpillar #butterfly" on YouTube
This cool looking Pipevine Swallowtail Caterpillar was neat to watch. It was running around on the side of the road, where we were walking in a local park.

The story of Fred
Fred is a black swallowtail butterfly, who I found as a caterpillar at my work.
Tumblr media
I found him on June 29th.
Tumblr media
He spent the next few days munching on parsley, a favourite of swallowtails.
Then on July 5th, he started the process of preparing to become a chrysalis!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
By the next day, he'd shed his old skin and become a chrysalis!
The next week and a bit were uneventful (to me, for Fred, it was very busy!)
Then on July 17th, his chrysalis became clear! A sure sign he was almost ready!
Tumblr media
And lo and behold, the very same day, Fred re-emerged into the world as a beautiful male black swallowtail!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He was released the following day, July 18th, as the sun had been set for about a half hour by the time I had got home from work and I didn’t think it’d be a good idea to release him in the dark.
Goodbye Fred!!! 👋 👋👋👋👋

@earthandsunandmoon submitted: I will never tire of seeing a swallowtail caterpillar's angry eyebrows!
Lol...agreed, it's very cute every time. Even though it's meant to repel predators, I guess they didn't account for humans.
