Poor little kitties! They are down to gnawing on the stumps of this fennel plant. I went by several places on the way home today and nobody has any fennel, or parsley for that matter.
Next year I'm going to have to grow lots more.

The big guys in this photo will probably make it. They can actually go ahead and pupate early and turn in to smaller butterflies. The two babies though are in trouble. You will find one opposite of each of the big guys. That's what the first instar looks like, brown with a white band.
They are Eastern Black Swallowtail cats by the way.
