Here is a picture of monarch butterly larvae. I think they are quite
striking! I thought they only ate milkweed b/c it allowed them to
absorb a poison that warded off predators?

That's an easy one. They are Monarch Butterfly larvae. They love parsley,
dill, queen anne's lace and fennel. I used to grow bronze fennel just
because it was so pretty in my herb garden and the Monarch's were loaded on
the plants.
