I found the attached parsley worm on my parsley and wanted to add it to the DG bug files but I got the error message "The order ("") and family ("Papilionidae") are not familiar to us." Can anyone provide the family, genus, and species of this caterpillar/butterfly?

I suggest contacting an administrator and report an error - there must be a glitch of some king in the system...
