@Lamby I left him where I found him. After all, I can always get another plant. Let him fill his belly and become what he's meant to be. >u<

i hope you get to keep him around and see his transformation >w< what kinda plant is it btw :3?

It was supposed to be a parsley plant. Or at least I think, I removed the tag. xD But now it's just Mr. Pillar's lunch. x3

*one google search later* it looks like a black swallowtail caterpillar they enjoy eating parsley and members of the parsley family, like carrots and fennel if your mother has common houseplants, then they'll be fine ^v^ https://wisconsinbutterflies.org/a/species/2186/full/black-swallowtail.jpg http://www.gardenswithwings.com/uploads/images/db/blswMOde.jpg

here is a collage of his life cycle ^v^ https://bugguide.net/images/cache/X0C/Q50/X0CQ50OQN0NR7QARZQYR7QYR90Z0P000N0Q07QDR90L0P0S0QQFRHQTQI0FQ90YRU0K0N000MQYRKQ00E0L0U03R.jpg

if im not mistaken, when they newly hatch they look like bird poop (the black and white) to avoid predators at that early stage http://butterfly-lady.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/BS_cats_instar-copy.jpg

oohh the swallowtail on the eastern side is a pokemon! https://i.imgur.com/709rOJl.jpg

i prefer this stage of his life though, cause he looks so angry >w< https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VbNYPUEkHrY/maxresdefault.jpg
