Giant Swallowtail Butterfly































I am always looking for hidden treasure in my garden. This morning I was looking at the satsuma's on my tree and found what I thought was fresh bird droppings and was going to brush it off- except that it looked like it had eyes. After closer inspection, it turned out to be a caterpillar. Well, of course, I got my camera and took photos. I googled it and found it to be the caterpillar of the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly. I remember watching several in my yard a few weeks ago. I can hardly wait for nature to take it's course and this ugly little creature to become the beautiful butterfly.

Just goes to show, never judge a book by it's cover.

Isn't God amazing?
