32 reactions | Wow, has it grown! This giant swallowtail caterpillar is now the size of my baby finger. It will soon go into its chrysalis stage and unlike the monarch butterfly, it will actually overwinter under twigs & leaves until the spring when it will emerge as a butterfly! #giantswallowtail #gardenpathhomemadesoap #ontariotourism #southeasternontario #myottawa #ecobusiness #vkh #ontariogardening #caterpillars | Garden Path Homemade Soap | Facebook
