Black Swallowtail Butterflys?
The other day I spotted a mostly black butterfly in the garden. I was
surprised to find it very attracted to some of my parsley. After some research I ID'd as a female Black Swallowtail. SHe was laying eggs, which I can spot in between the curly leaves. Now I have more parsley growing than I can use So i would have no problem letting the ones on this plant grow--but am I inviting a voracious catepillar into the garden by doing this? I'm sure they would probably eat far more than that one bush of parsley. DiGiTAL ViNYL (no email) Zone 6b/7, Westchester Co, NY, 1 mile off L.I.Sound 1st Year Gardener |
