I kept hoping they'd moved to another plant, but now I realize the birds probably got them. With all the obstacles facing them, every butterfly is truly a miracle!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-13953261881948361242013-07-26T20:48:23.685-04:002013-07-26T20:48:23.685-04:00What a great idea to build a little shelter for th...What a great idea to build a little shelter for the caterpillars. My daughter has two little yellow swallowtail caterpillars on her dill plant today. My dill died this year so not sure if I have any but there sure are lots of butterflies around my property. :)Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161905717646343288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-38251417735627745952013-07-21T09:46:24.574-04:002013-07-21T09:46:24.574-04:00Great job Robin.

I was reading on another blog that it's been hard weather for butterflies, leading to a late season for them. We haven't seen hardly any butterflies here yet. I'm glad you are keeping some safe!Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-66765160212842070752013-07-17T05:05:53.046-04:002013-07-17T05:05:53.046-04:00I love butterflies also, you do a great job caring...I love butterflies also, you do a great job caring for themAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205365191840035777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-21636402906761859492013-07-16T16:18:12.014-04:002013-07-16T16:18:12.014-04:00What a great project.
