Please leave the caterpillars on your parsley, dill, or fennel alone. Our dill has quite a few of these: And in time and a bit more dill, the caterpillars will become this: A beautiful Black Swallowtail!
Well said Jane. I hate it when folks say they've squished caterpillars or spayed them with pesticide.
Heck, the cabbage white is laying eggs on my kale plants and if I don’t squish them, I will end up with no brassicas to harvest. I would never squish caterpillars on other plants, and in fact have a wild area in my garden with nettles in just for the flutterbyes
