Meet Cowboy, Rowan named him that.
Cowboy is not your average ranch hand. He doesn’t dine on meat and potatoes. Cowboy is a vegetarian, and prefers his leafy greens. Cowboy and his cronies especially loves my Passion Flower plant. So much so, I think they ate it all.
For the sake of science, we wrangled Cowboy, and gave him some new diggs. He adapted nicely, shortly after, he spun his cocoon. And we waited.
A week or 2 later, we found this one morning. Cowboy dangling from his cocoon.
I think he was a little confused, he did morph into a different being after all.
For a Cowboy, he cleans up pretty nicely, don’t you think?
Seconds after I snapped this shot, Cowboy took off into the vast open world. Good luck out there Cowboy. Thanks for contributing to our science project.

WOW! What a beautiful caterpillar and butterfly!! We never have anything but moths around here. No fun once they morph from the little fuzzy beings they started out as. Great pics!
