Love it. The caterpillar really stands out with its neon green, yellow and black pattern. I don't suppose you have a photo of a black swallowtail butterfly you could post? I see them up here occasionally, and it's always a treat. Thumbs up

Mariyln,
I like your banner. Your eye is immediately drawn to the bright caterpillar. Every year I plan to grow some dill specifically for these guys, but it seems never to happen. Your picture is another incentive to get it done this coming year! Thanks! Smiling

I'm trying to find the full size pic of the banner. This isn't it, but another shot of the dill with two cats on it in the same year of the banner.

Thank you everyone for the comments and thumbs.

@BellaKelly, your first pic is a Black Swallowtail, the butterfly of the cat in the banner, but the second is a different butterfly. I agree with you about their scary little horns. Thumbs up

@Marilyn, this is the same butterfly, I promise. Smiling This is an eastern black swallowtail, in my yard. I posted both pics because it showed both views of the butterfly. I'm no expert, I could have miss ID'd. I am always open to correction! *Blush*

@BellaKelly and @lauriemorningglory,

My sincere apologies. I'd forgotten that the females and males looked different. D'Oh!

Thank you Bella and Laurie for letting me know and the link. I tip my hat to you. Thumbs up
