We’d planted extra, hoping that they and the tiger swallowtails would find it. Disturbingly few butterflies seen so far this year, so I’m really rooting for these critters to succeed. Almost as exciting as when I discovered a mother cat and kittens in our backyard! (We kept 3 of them and found good homes for the other 2.) [My photo.]
