THIS IS the Swallowtail Caterpillar



Look at the following website for information about lepidoptery with professional photographs for the life cycle of this beautiful butterfly which lays it's eggs on wild fennel growing in our meadow and garden. In previous years we have watched this butterfly fluttering in our garden, not knowing what it was, as it never settled sufficiently for us to identify or photograph it!
