Recently, for example, my mother was visiting. During our garden walk, I brought her into the greenhouse where I grow plants in the soil. I pointed out the caterpillar of the anise swallowtail butterfly on the fennel plants there, and my mother promptly asked what I was going to do. about it. “Nothing!” was my answer.
Caterpillars often elicit a response of repugnance and assumption that there is a “problem”. Admittedly, they are odd-looking creatures, with stripes, bumps, fuzzy protuberances and sometimes, big “eyes”, resembling big, fat worms. Yet eat they must, to become mature butterflies. My recommendation for the “problem" of caterpillar sightings is to get some good identification books of garden insects.
For butterflies, one of the best books is the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Butterflies. This guide contains color photos of mature butterflies as well as some of the egg, cateHt pillar and chrysalis stage oft' various butterfly species. For r more photos and comprehen- ‘ sive coverage, Butterflies Through Binoculars: The East is also helpful.
Some of the most common butterflies of this area are: Gray Hairstreaks, Coppers, Metalmarks, Buckeyes, Wood Nymphs, the Swallowtails ( Pipevine, Tiger, Anise, Black, Spicebush and Zebra), American Ladies, SilverSpotted and Folded-Wing Skippers, the Great Spangled and Variegated Frittilaries, Monarchs, Red Admirals, Spring Azures, Commas and Clouded and Orange
