CLOSED: Who's this CAT and what's that weed he's eating?

Brooksville, FL(Zone 9a)

Does anyone know this cat? This year, I had this weed come up in several places that it's eating - I've never seen it before and don't recall planting it. Can you tell me what he turns into and what this weed is that he's eating?

Thanks!

here's the weed - it's like a miniature baby's breath with little white flowers, doesn't seem to have any leaves . . .

It looks like a Black Swallowtail cat, maybe on Dill?

Yes- that's definately the eastern black swallowtail - wonderful! Certianly some kind of dill or fennel he's eating - not sure, it just started coming up this year as a weed in different parts of my yard, so I'm sure I didn't plant it, but now I won't pull any more of it out that's for sure!

thanks much for the id!
