Planted dill this year to intentionally attract swallowtails.   Was very successful, but the one shown here was the last one and sadly disappeared today. 
Hungry Robins I guess.

I like the depth provided by the spray at the top. Great colors and bg, too.

Very pretty! Love seeing the whole caterpillar after that wonderful view of the feet. Too bad they disappeared!

I like this one almost as much as the previous caterpillar image. The crop of the dill cluster looks great, fine position of the stem and caterpillar, excellent background.

Nice, but I don't like it as well as the first post.
