There has been hardly any bird activity so here is part of something else I have been watching - I bought a little dill a couple of weeks ago, and soon after, I spotted a Black Swallowtail caterpillar on it. I set up a camera and have been doing timelapses for more than a week now.
Meet Dillon Dingler. He has shed his skin once, rests a lot and has doubled in size. Today, he ate a lot, so I think he will probably go into shedding mode again. I hope he knows what he is doing with the plant and there will be enough left until he pupates. I will keep the cam on there as long as he is there. Fingers crossed we can see the entire process.
