Found 2 swallowtail catapillars eating my dill.  They were fat, colorful things!  Apparently, when they feel threatened, they raise their stink horns (the orange things) and release a God aweful smell.

    How interesting! I can't say I had ever heard about the horn thing either! Pretty cool looking, though . . .

    I didn't know the released a smell or had horns! I learn so much looking at everyone's blogs! Love the vibrant colors too!
