Bebop and Archibald

Meet Bebop and Archibald.
I met them after going jogging this morning. They were hanging out on the anise plants next to my apartment building. "How do you do?" I said to them. Then I plucked off the anise stems they were on, carried them to my apartment, and put them in a glass jar. And now they belong to me. And they shall be called Bebop and Archibald, and if they live, they will grow up into Anise Swallowtail Butterflies. Actually, I can't tell which one is Bebop and which one is Archibald.
