Tonight, we found a number if pests out at the Buckeye Lake garden. First up is this caterpillar we found in the carrots. This same caterpillar is often found on celery as well. This turns into one beautiful swallowtail butterfly, so I like to either sacrifice some of the leaves or relocate these caterpillars. See if you can spot where the caterpillar in the picture below.
Here is a picture of what the swallowtail butterfly looks like. For more information see this article from Wikipedia : Black Swallowtail.
