1. Swallowtail Cat - I found 9 of them on the parsley last year. They were bigger and more recognizable when I spotted them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known what they were - had never seen a swallowtail cat before. So I was looking out for them this year. This photo was taken 2 weeks ago. There were 5 of them.

2. A week later - This was taken last weekend. It is amazing how fast they grew. I put the parsley pot under the metal patio table to protect them from birds. They are all gone now. Hopefully they have found good spots for the next stage of life.
