Q&A - There is a black, green, and yellow striped caterpillar eating my parsley. What is it?
Question:
There is a black, green, and yellow striped caterpillar eating my parsley. What is it?
Answer:
Everything in nature is about balance. One such balance is the existence of black swallowtail butterflies and our personal gardens of parsley. If you spot black, green and yellow caterpillars on your potted parsley removing them will save your plants but deprive you of these vibrant pollinators. Keeping your parsley mixed in with other plants can help in keeping specific pests off your plants.
