So, I went out about 6:00 pm and took these photos of the one on the trashcan. Not much noticeable difference, if any.


I go out about 9:15 pm, and this is what I find. Dang! I missed the magic.


The one on the axe still looks pretty much the same. But, I bet when I get up in the morning, it will be a chrysalis, too.

I was really wanting to see the chrysalis emerge. The skin splits open from the head down…not sure where it goes…and it comes out a chrysalis. Wish it would’ve done it while I was watching!

I’m a simple woman…at least that what my DH (Dear Husband) used to say about me…I was a wife, I am now a widow, mother, step-mother & step-grandmother, quilter, and have a full time job in criminal justice. I lost my DH on May 22nd, 2011. I live in a small town in Texas. I love piecing quilts, I love quilting quilts. I have a serious addiction to fabric. I’ve been quilting since 1998, and purchased my first longarm, a Gammill Premier, in 2004. I upgraded to an A-1 Elite, named Corky, in March, 2007. I am in the process of rebuilding my life after losing my spouse.

Oh… I’m so happy for you to have those swallowtails. I’ve grown three plants of rue for a couple of years now, when I saw all these goings-on in your garden. I’ve not seen but ONE swallowtail in my garden. And no caterpillars at all.
Very disappointed. : (
I’ve Milkweed growing here though, and usually have a nice crop of Monarchs hatch. But I really wanted those swallowtails! I’ll have to keep watching your post for further developments. : )

Very cool pictures! I’d be tempted to spend the entire day watching them for fear I’d miss something!
BTW, your axe is seriously dull.
