Subject: [CHAT] 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. :)
