I raised this butterfly from about a 1/2" caterpillar until today when it emerged as an adult male. The caterpillars were discovered on my mother in-law's parsley in her herb garden. I had a total of 9 caterpillars. This the first to complete metamorphosis. Only one remains in the larval stage. I believe it was an egg on one of the parsley stalks when I brought them home to raise. The rest are in their pupal stage and should continue to emerge over the next few days.
