Description
Black Swallowtail Caterpillars
"The caterpillar in the photo was on Queen Anne’s-lace. Black swallowtails have benefited from the increase of gardens and agriculture and is declining in spots where agriculture is on the wane and forests are returning. Like zebras, Black swallowtail caterpillars use a disruptive pattern; in the broken sunlight, it’s hard for predators to discern their true shape."
Photographed at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, Belmont, North Carolina who has a temporary butterfly garden until labor day when they release all the butterflies.
