Those are the reason I grow dog fennel. It gives those cats something to eat besides my dill and bronze fennel. They are one of the butterfly larva I think, but I can't for the life of me remember which one.

Working in this heat dulls the mind and mummifies the body....grin

These are larvae of black swallowtail butterflies (Papilio polyxenes ssp.) - see http://tinyurl.com/mztqfr and http://tinyurl.com/nbfmp9
To me, the beauty of the butterflies is well worth sacrificing a few dill plants...

Suunto, I was hoping you would see this thread before you logged off. Thanks, I knew it was one of the nicer butterflies, but just couldn't remember which one.
