they molt between stages.. and i noticed this guy right as he finished. before i could get the camera focused he had turned around and begun to eat the shedded skin! nature!
i love the two tethers that hold the chrysalis to the fennel stalk.

black swallowtail caterpillars continued..
so once i realized what was going on.. i found out i had been mushing the caterpillars in their earlier stages of life! so i've been out hunting for the past three or four days.. and this is what i've collected! i'm pretty sure i've got every stage, minus the butterfly, captured!
