I find the caterpillars and raise them to butterflies as only 1% of caterpillars
make it to be a butterfly in the wild they say.
These are black Swallowtails.
Have released 12 so far this year and have 14 more coming up soon I hope.
Raised 24 Yellow Swallowtails last year to set free.

We also buy Preying Mantis eggs on eBay and set them free.
Set close to 2000 free this year.
This one is 1 inch long.
