Default Caterpillars on my Dill

Thanks all for the knowledge. I definitely think they are the Black Swallow
caterpillers (very young). I'll leave them be on three of the plants and
see if they'll leave the fourth alone.

Just move them gently. :-)

Wear gloves.

See if you can find some parsley plants at the nursery.
They do just fine on those. I never have allowed them to stay on the
dill weed as I use too much of it, but moving them won't hurt them.

And Like I said, Anise works too.
