Giant swallowtail butterflies

While trimming some branches to fill the yard waste bag for tomorrow's 
pickup I noticed several large, black and white caterpillars lying 
atop a gas plant much smaller than I remember.  

I raced inside to look them up and learned that these are "giant swallowtail
butterfly" caterpillars:

Guess I'll leave them!  I think the gas plant will survive.  :)
