Much activity on the butterfly front this weekend, which kind of fits in with the Easter theme (no, not chocolates and bunnies, but rebirth).
Found this one just after it hatched on Friday.
Was anticipating that this one would be next:
But then this morning I found this, four metres away from the swan plant amongst some ferns by the washing line.
That must have been one very intrepid caterpillar. All power to you, buddy!
So, now I’m leaning towards not pulling out the swan plant before next summer. But I promise not to document it so closely next year.
