Can you see that little guy on the leaf? He is a spice bush swallowtail caterpillar. Yeah, baby, that's the kind of stuff I just learned last week among a ton of other things!
These photo are in our outdoor classroom at school. During my watering interlude yesterday I spied him rolled up in the leaf of a very small native spice bush. I can't wait to show this sort of stuff to my kids at school.
I know I'm a geek and a dork but I wholeheartedly accept that title.

What does it turn into?
It will be a spicebush swallow tail butterfly. I can't think of anything cooler I have seen in recent months with the exception of the adult store I stumbled into...
Oh, yeah...by accident.
If you go to my blog later this week, I'll post some photos of Spicebush Swallowtails.
Tonight I posted several pics of butterflies on cone flowers; but, none of the Spicebush BF.
Will get to them later in the week.

Here is the post I promised on the Spicebush Swallowtail.
They are quite beautiful.
Hope you enjoy.
