So what should you do if you find these eggs or caterpillars in your garden? My advice is to leave them alone. Enjoy the process and watch the transformation. If you’re really worried about your plants, you can carefully relocate the caterpillars to a tree or shrub where they’ll be more comfortable and less likely to nibble on your precious flowers.
Gardening is all about balance. It’s about finding harmony between the plants you love and the living things that share your space. Next time you see something strange in your garden, take a moment to examine it before reaching for the insecticide. You might discover something amazing, like I did with the eggs of the Nymphalis Antiopa butterfly.
Ultimately, it’s all part of the adventure. Each season brings new surprises and new challenges, but that’s what makes gardening so rewarding.
