I recently posted a photo of some Black Swallowtail caterpillars on the parsley in our kitchen garden. Look at them now!

I found Black Swallows on my only fennel bulb ( left over from last springs garden) one was rather large the rest were small (do not know how I didn't see them prior). Ran to the nursery and purchased the last 3 dill plants (and I had parsley growning on patio) when I got home ALL were gone! What would of eaten them? They look so much like monarchs I thought they would b safe, just found a slew of babies today on the fennel (next to the 3 pitiful dill plants. Hate to see them dissappear too.
