It was the final molt of a pipevine swallowtail caterpillar, the old, squashed skin (and face!) that drops when a butterfly caterpillar becomes a chrysalis. So, I looked up.

Growing your own also provides you with more options in terms of flavor profiles, longterm storage potential and access to fresh garlic and garlic scapes.
