Brazilian Skipper on Water Hemlock

I bought this Columbine at the Farmer's Market
in Raleigh, NC while I was there on vacation back in April.
It's doing better than I thought it would.

This is Poisionous Water Hemlock with a Black Swallowtial caterpillar on it.

Two days later I found the caterpillar had turned green!

This is Gazinia or Blanket Flower.
