Can you see what Angelia has spotted?
Those are caterpillars that will turn into one of my favorite butterflies... swallowtail butterflies!

Tip:
If you want to attract swallowtail butterflies to your garden all you need to do is grow host plants (caterpillar food). Growing host plants will attract swallowtail butterflies to your garden for laying their eggs. There are several plants additional to parsley that these caterpillars will munch on, such as, bronze fennel, Queen Anne's Lace and Rue.
...Just sprinkle some seeds of each of these plants and you'll have a swallowtail host plant garden!
Your Feedback:
Do you have any of these host plants growing in your garden?
If so, have you noticed any swallowtail caterpillars?
