I just saw a butterfly lay egs onmy kumquat bush!

I don’t think it was butterfly poop.

:stuck_out_tongue:

And then the eggs hatch into caterpillars, and they eat your kumquat bush.

Still feeling happy?

What kind of butterfly was it? curious

Wow. I think the OP may have written a sentence that has never been written before.

(cue Twilight Zone Music)

I’ll guess some type of swallowtail.

That reads like some weird Oriental circumlocution for Sex.

Geez- I am the worst typist. Can I blame it on all the kids running around here now that school is out?
It was a swallowtail.
I don’t mind if they eat some of the plant as long as they don’t eat the whole thing.

Cool. We had milkweed in the yard so we ended up with a Monarch chrysalis on our tomato plant (next door to the milkweed.) I missed seeing it emerge but I saw it it flapping it’s wings for the first time, before it lit out to Mexico.

Keep a camera around.

Monarch’s like milkweed and dill.

Now to ruin the magic. Swallowtails like plants in the citrus family.
