How to Raise Giant Swallowtail Butterflies on the Alabama Gulf Coast Zone 9a

i see these butterflies all the time outside my house they're beautiful

Those are so beautiful. Your garden is awe inspiring.

So I just found your channel and I found some weird critters on my fairly new (less than one year) citrus tree and my first thought was oh no! I grabbed two of them to destroy them but thanks to mobile devices I decided to google them. Voila, they were orange-dog caterpillars that will one day transform into giant swallowtails. I saw an adult fluttering around a couple of days later and was just overjoyed. Needless to say I’ve been babying the others. Funny thing is they were never in my thought process. I planted milkweed last year to feed my monarchs. Yesterday, My son found a hawk moth And now we look for new and emerging forms of life in our garden. It’s like getting a new gift each time. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

Thanks for your efforts. We are raising monarchs for 1st time now. Baton Rouge area.

Your milkweed looks so healthy! How do you protect it from aphids?
