WOW!! What a great collection of photos. They were very helpful. I was able to identify 5 types of butterfly caterpillars that I have been watching in my garden. One was in the chrysalis stage, but emerged while I was away & I never got to see what it was. Now I know it was a black swallowtail. Thanks. Kate

Thanks for the help. My boys and I found a catterpillar in the garden and put it in a jar. It has now turned into a pupa. I wanted to know a little about what it was or would be. Thanks again the pictures helped a ton.

Hi Tom, you certainly have a good supply of caterpillars, and you show them well. Good clarity too. Thank you...
