One of many on this parsley plant is this beautiful Black Swallowtail caterpillar. I’ve counted about 8 of them in various sizes munching away on last year’s Italian parsley plant that is going to seed. The black swallowtail butterflies are mostly black with yellow, white, blue and red spots near the base of their wings. You can learn more about them at Butterflies and Moths
