Observation notes: 11 Caterpillars on Dutchman's Pipevine. This is the second set of pipevine swallowtail caterpillars on this plant this year. The first was a set of 7 caterpillars, that ate the plant to its nubs on 6/18/2020. The caterpillars then wandered off to attempt to find more food (unlikely since this is currently my only pipevine). The plant regrew new leaves, and now another butterfly has laid some more eggs.
