Nature at my door, literally

There's a lovely chrysalis attached to the frame of the sliding glass doors on to my deck. Reference pictures I can can find online, together with information on diet, relative to the plants I have sitting on said deck (parsley and dill), leads me to believe that it's an Eastern Black Swallowtail.

Here, look for yourself!

Oooh how nice that you'll get to watch its transformation and "coming out party". Neat.

Did you see the luna moth at Beltane on the faery altar? It supposedly came from its cocoon while they were setting up.

Thank you! I really love your tattoo! (:

It's actually just marker, so not permanent, but definitely preserved in the photo! A friend drew it on my back for me.

(And yours is gorgeous!)

That's cool. I've done marker before, when testing out tattoo ideas. (;

And, thanks again! (:
