More Butterflies and a Gross Biology Cycle.

Have you ever seen anything so disgusting??? These "big green monster" caterpillars or "green horns" can get 4 inches long. Sick. I did a little research and they are the larvae for the Luna Moth...which we also found outside. I sure hope these guys don't eat my tomatoes alive next year.

The caterpillar was eaten by my chickens for breakfast. Huh...the chickens then produced eggs that I ate for breakfast. Our waste water/byproducts will go to the water treatment plant, be treated and turned into compost, which we will purchase next spring to beef up the garden beds. The compost will be host for more green monster caterpillars. There's an amazing/gross biology cycle for ya.

We have a new swallowtail butterfly in the garden this week. They are so pretty.
