    I was so happy to finally see some of the Black Swallowtail Caterpillars munchin' on the fennel.

    And the only Lantana that seems to like it here... the purple one.

    Guess what grasshoppers? I got to see my Spider Lily bloom before you chomped them up this year!

    Theodoros ID'd this for me last year... when I'm not so tired from fighting insects, I'll go back and get the Botanical name. In the meantime... at least I got to see them this year.

    Nice! I really like the spider lily. I'm always looking for 'different' blooms for my gardens.

    Beautiful blooms, I really like the Spider Lily.
    I have been finding more and more grasshoppers out front this year, time to dig out the 'big guns'

    I haven't seen a caterpillar on anything since at least a month ago. My dill had died out but surprisingly the fennel is still going strong....just no caterpillars.
    Still waiting to see them on the Passionflower vine too.
