Default Swallowtail caterpillar in my garden

I couldn't find him this afternoon. He's either moved on,
or been eaten by a bird. I looked on the nearby (very
nearby) dill plants too.


if he was around 1.25" long when you saw him, he's gone now
because he's pupated
it's unlikely a bird ate it, as the stinky horns also taste
bad. my chickens leave them alone & not much gets by them.

Last night while sitting in my chair
I pinged a host that wasn't there
It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.
