Do you know where you’ll always find me? In my garden. I love gardening. There’s something incredibly rewarding about tending plants, watching them grow and seeing the hard work come to life. But let’s be honest: it can be very difficult. One of the biggest challenges is pest control.
Sometimes you don’t even know which pests are beneficial and which will destroy everything you’ve worked so hard for.
I recently saw a photo on social media that perfectly illustrates this confusion. The first time I saw it, it scared me. The photo showed a sheet of paper covered in tiny, intricate black geometric shapes.
At first glance, it looked as if the leaf was covered with some kind of alien lattice or even a strange disease. Many people, including myself, wondered what it could be.
Once they’ve grown, caterpillars find a safe place to pupate. They weave a chrysalis, which is like a little sleeping bag where they undergo their transformation. This phase can last from a few weeks to several months, depending on the weather and the time of year.
One of the most interesting aspects of weeping clover butterflies is their behavior.
Warning: don’t touch them if you see them on your plants
