Then I was outside putting together some path lights, and a female came fluttering through. She emmediatly found the Parsley forest I kept from freezing all winter, and laid at least a half dozen eggs. I knew then I had to release this one.. He would have company now.. Here she is ovipositing on the Parsley> She was so excited to see such a large hedge of Parsley she wouldn't stay still enough to allow zooming in, lol. |
