Morning Eye Candy: Munch, Munch

Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on July 17 2013, by Matt Newman

Caterpillars often munch unmerciful on their preferred plants, but there’s usually the later butterfly’s pollinating habits to look forward to, at least. I think this one will become a black swallowtail butterfly (Papilio polyxenes). Then again, I’m no entomologist. Any confirmations from readers?
