Here's the Common Buckeye Caterpillar I mentioned in the last post. If you stop and slow down you can find caterpillars growing on garden plants. I grow the herb Parsley every year and every year the 'Parsley Worms,' or Black Swallowtail caterpillars feed on them before crawling off to a tree to pupate. This year they ate my entire plant until there wasn't any greenery left. But in few days the Parsley resurrected itself to where I can have some to garnish my Italian Sausage and Pasta this evening. Though I won't be a 'Parsley Wormhog' and eat the whole plant! Bon appetit!
