found a swallowtail caterpillar on a Rue plant on June 20. Brought it and the Rue in and put them safely in a BF cage.
Here it is today. It has more than doubled in size in the past 10 days. I'm running out of Rue! I bought 3 very small Rue plants at $6.99 each around the 20th which have not grown at all.
He has devoured 2 plants already. what do I do? Hope he advances to the cocoon stage before I run out.
