I would also like to add…Parsley is a great host for the Monarch cats. All types…from the Italian flat leaf, to the Curly…They love them all! If you grow this wonderful biennial, then please, plant a couple extra for the Monarchs!

Thanks so much, SongofJoy, for a wonderful article…And a great reminder of how important these creatures are to our wellbeing!

Thanks for commenting, terrafirma. The caterpillar of the Black Swallowtail butterfly looks somewhat similar to a Monarch cat and that might be what you are seeing. The BST do love their parsley and dill.
