Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This Swallowtail caterpillar was feeding on the Curly Parsley we sell at the garden center I work at (we let them and do not remove). I actually saw the female deposit her eggs on the parsley (a bit like a machine gun) only about 2.5 weeks ago. Three days ago they were about .5" long; today they (there were actually two that I saw, only one photographed) about 1.5-1.75" long. Consumed a parsley leaf rather quickly. Weather: 87 degrees, very humid, sunny with some clouds.
