Who is Muching the Dill?

There are many reasons to plant herbs in your garden, though I like to plant some, like Dill, in pots or planters. Dill can be invasive.

I noticed that my dill was looking pretty sad...something had been eating the Dill plants.

I figured out what was so hungry: 

The parsley worm. Turns out it loved my dill, but didn’t touch my parsley.

No need to panic when it comes to the parsley worm.

This caterpillar is just storing up energy for a beautiful metamorphosis.

You see, a parsley worm will become a stunning black swallowtail butterfly!

Dill is another great plant to attract butterflies.

Want to know what other plants to include to attract pollinators to your garden?
