NEED MARCH UPDATE

Brilliant, marvelous thread. My gallery isn't nearly as diverse or artistic as yours, but I will share a few of what I have later.

why do you choke butterflies 🤕

dont ask questions to answers u dont want

im sorry 😿

This is Timmothy, Tom

He is still in his chrysalis

Please spare him

It's a hard job but someone has to do it

Also

"Cocoons are specific to moths, while chryslises are formed by butterflies"

Im sorry to break your heart. Maybe you know this and it's why you choke them

whoa hes so pretty

and big

damn
gotta create a whole new thread now or rebrand

@hayabusa the joke ain’t funny anymore come back !

butter fly

Yeah they start so tiny, eat a metric s*** ton, and grow super fast

wow looks even big in this pic i dont remember the caterpillars being this big as kid at all

One is fresh out the cut

Also I'll take another picture once this generation is fully grown next to the dime they get pretty big

whoa do you own a butterfly farm or something ? and that’s a great pic i could even see the fuzzy texture compare to the more leathery(?) texture in the wings

Nah, I just have a garden I have been working on for the past few years. Last season I was having issues with getting good fertilization for my tomatoes and peppers so I planted some butterfly attractors last year to see if I could get some to help out with that.

So far so good

i need to get in Gardening i thought of planting Tomoatos but it seemed worthless up here when it snows for half the year

It's really rewarding I would recommend it. Just know what to grow in what season for where you are.

Have not watched his videos in a while but they helped me a ton.

I had no luck where I was at until I made a irrigated bed, so there is definitely learning to be done if you want to have a good yield, but that what makes it really rewarding.
