Caterpillars & Cocoons @ the Library

IMG_7998
The Lee Memorial Library currently has at least six caterpillars and two chrysalises on display.

I was lucky enough to baby-sit these guys over the holiday weekend, and they let me take their pictures. 

Most of the caterpillars and a chrysalis attached to a fennel plant are Black Swallowtails (state butterfly of New Jersey).

The chrysalis with the gold trim attached to the top of another cage is a Monarch.

Please come in and see for yourself.

For info about the upcoming butterfly talk (Friday, July 15) and a butterfly walk (Saturday, July 16) sponsored by the library and Fyke, click here:
