I hope you have a lot of fennel. They are voracious. Refresh regularly and keep the container clean.

@lionelb@expressional.social @JimmyB@mas.to They also love parsley. Destroyed a batch of mine one year

@lionelb@expressional.social yes - been researching this morning. We have a stack of fennel (and if we didn’t it is prolific wild here). We got 2 through to full emerged butterflies last year (2 out of 2) and I think it was daily cleaning and food change until pupation. I’ve left my sprouting broccoli un-netted this year to encourage the cabbage whites and it’s worked amazingly. The garden is full of them and lots of others too but haven’t actually seen Swallowtails yet - just offspring
