It looks like the Pipevine Swallowtail Caterpillars will survive and won’t run out of food. They found almost every small piece of Pipevine (Fimbriata type) and I only see one of them still eating. I found 3 of them near the roof of the house. Two of them already converted to Chrysalis, and the other should turn tomorrow.

I’m going to guess I may not see too many more Pipevine Swallowtail at least for a little while since my Host sources are so low. I guess they could fly by for some of the nectar plants.

Ana Goncalves - Wow, I’ve never seen a caterpillar so lively before. They are amazing!
I wonder whether there is any in the UK? Do they hang around in hotter regions or milder ones?June 9, 2010 – 1:10 pm
ArtemisCadeau - Wow, what a gorgeous caterpillar!
I loooove your blog. What a beautiful layout it has. I think I might start following this blog, it’s very interesting.

JOHN BURTON - Pretty neat. Could you show a picture of their chrysalis?
Thanks.June 14, 2010 – 9:29 am
texdr - Hey John
Let me see if I can get a good picture of them tomorrow. Three of them formed a Chrysalis on the edge of the house which makes a terrible background, but I’ll see what I can doJune 14, 2010 – 9:30 pm
