The herb fennel will attract the entire life cycle of the black swallowtail butterfly. It will host eggs, caterpillars and the chrysalis. If you remove a branch of the fennel with a mature caterpillar… you can put it in a jar and watch the chrysalis form and the swallowtail emerge. A great project for kids!
