A caterpillar was eating my basil so I decided to keep it and see what species they are, I think I will name it Pesto
I’ll build it a terrarium so they can get more comfy

This is my repousse drawing/carving of the photo I took of the basil in my grandmother's garden. I actually drew it by freehand directly onto the surface. I was pleased with how it came out, giving that it was a space of 5"x 5." :-)
This is a photograph I took of some basil that I helped plant in my grandmother's garden. I thought it would be cool to photograph my favorite herb in black and white.
