Garden Notes
Caterpillars on Parsley

Often gardeners will find a green caterpillar with black and yellow spots eating their parsley. This is a parsley worm caterpillar. If left alone these caterpillars will become the eastern black swallowtail butterfly. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper recommends planting enough parsley for you and the caterpillars.
