Caterpillar time!

Apparently, I am not the only one who is fond of my parsley.

When I came home today, my parsley (previously a full plant with lots of leaves) had been reduced to a few remaining sprigs.

All because of three caterpillars, two big queen caterpillars (Danaus gillipus) and a small one that I haven't ID'd yet (here).

But I am not a bad person. I did not kill the caterpillars. I did not even remove them. Everyone needs to eat. Until they move on to my basil.....
