Field Notes

Description:

Spotted this Anise Swallowtail Caterpillar on a wild anise plant while I was walking in Aquatic Park in Berkeley, CA. It was completely immobile and looked like it was resting. I have seen smaller Anise Swallowtail Caterpillars here, but no butterflies yet!

Habitat:

Aquatic Park in Berkeley, CA.
