One day I noticed that someone had been chewing on the carrots. The green tops, that is - and they had nibbled them down to the stems! At first, I thought it might have been a rabbit. But no ... a rabbit would have bitten off entire stems. This was a more dainty diner.
I looked and looked and nearly gave up. But then I saw the culprit!
A black swallowtail caterpillar! Notice how the color helps it blend in with the shadows of the carrot leaves. I wanted to get up-close and meet it face-to-face.
This week, get to know a bug up-close and personal!
