A Butterfly Update

I am never quite sure where to start the "butterfly stories".

I always kind of assume everyone knows the background,

and I try to keep my posts from getting too wordy.

So here's the readers digest version! 
I raise butterflies.

I plant a lot of dill in my outdoor garden.

Black Swallowtail Butterflies lay their eggs on dill.

Once I find the eggs, I bring them indoors, into my butterfly netted cages.

I care for them, feed them, clean their cage and nurture them until they go into chrysalis.
If you are interested,

this is a great article on raising Black Swallowtail Butterflies indoors.

Last summer, at seasons end, I found a second "crop" of caterpillars on my dill.

I brought them indoors and most went into chrysalis.

I kept them in the garage, a cool, dry place all winter and lo and behold,

they are all evolving this spring.

I have posted updates, here, here, and here.

I have released a total of 17 so far.

I have not been able to capture pictures of the last few butterflies,

as soon as I remove them from the cage, they take flight, and fly off to freedom!

The first picture was taken on May 9th.
These last 2 images were taken on June 5th, the last time I was able to get pictures.
 I previously shared the May 9th picture, the other 2 are new!
