Or it might be anise swallowtail.

Wait til those caterpillars get bigger--they're really gorgeous. And so are
the butterflies--flying flowers.

I have four dill plants, all about 16" tall. Yesterday, I noticed for the
first time tiny (1/4" or so) black with a yellow band caterpillars on my
Dill.

Should I pick them off? How much damage will they do?

I wouldn't mind have more butterflys, but not at the expense of dill.

George is right. I have them on mine. I plant extra for them.

BTW...if you touch them, they will exude a gawd-awful pungent scent on
your fingers.
