a Butt-thra baby on your fennel! ha! love that. :)

So it is safe to assume that you must have a 2nd one about. And if there is a 2nd, perhaps you have more, and perhaps the caterpillars are the children of other butterflies? Not Butt-hra?
Just perhaps… Probably not tho. ;-)

BTW, I dug up and brought in a fennel bulb for dinner on Monday, and put all the lush greens in water.
Yesterday I found a baby butt-thra chomping away on the fennel. In the kitchen.
