Thanks so much Steve.
I found the caterpillar on my garden parsley and brought it indoors in a vase with this stick and enough fresh parsley to keep it happy until it formed the chrysalid. After about 2 weeks of waiting it hatched and I had a front row seat!
It was great! #8744004

All of these are spectacular, Heather, but this remains my favorite because of the moment you captured and the story it suggests. Saw this in Editor's Picks -- congratulations. #8757269
