Observation notes: There are 3 caterpillars on my parsley - varying sizes. They are green and black striped with yellow dots on some of the black stripes. 2-3 sets of small legs at the front with 4 sets of legs further on the body, no legs at the end. No horns visible. Resting near areas that have been eaten. Earlier today I saw them out on branches, different areas. Now they are all near the center of the plant.
