Rufio the Caterpillar







About a week ago, my sister picked some Queen Annes Lace. Until today, we had no idea that there was a Black Swallowtail caterpillar living on it! So, Mom decided to put it in a dry fish tank with a stick and some fresh Queen Annes Lace. He's supposed to get to be about 2 inches after molting a few more times. He has definitely been eating a lot! Right now he is about 3/4 of an inch big. He will double in size in a couple of days! I'll post pictures when he gets bigger.
