It’s parsleyworm time! These caterpillars munching on parsley will become black swallowtail butterflies. They are voracious feeders, but the plants will recover.

Like most caterpillars, parsleyworms do most of their eating in the last few days of their lives as caterpillars. Once they are fully grown (about 2 inches long), they usually crawl away from the host plant to form their chrysalis. This is a good survival strategy because the odor of their f***s and the feeding injury to the host plant is attractive to parasites and predators.
