You would think they would read the sign "Butterfly Garden". How could they miss it? Tasty delights inside, planted just for them!

Oh Mom, you're too funny! That picture of the worried face is really creepy!
Hope the caterpillars find you soon!
I've been wondering the same thing! I don't have any caterpillars either! I've been checking all my parsley and milkweed daily, and nothing. I'll be sure to keep you posted if I find some!
