Black Swallotail Larvae

While watering the herb racks at the store this morning, I spotted a few of these guys munching on our dill and parsley. They were doing some major damage, so I picked them off and brought them home.



I put them around the base of my Queen Anne's Lace. I found several in my own yard last year, but none this year.



With so many, they'll devour this plant in just a few days.



At least I'll see a few butterflies from this.

It's 82 degrees. The high again will reach the mid 90s. Another chance of rain in the forecast this afternoon. Maybe today.
