I discovered nine caterpillars on my parsley plants. I have left them there to feed, but don,t know what else to do after they eat the two plants there. Get them more parsley or milkweed plants?
Editor's Note: These are swallowtail caterpillars. Parsley and other members of the carrot family, Apiaceae, are the host plant for swallowtails.
