What are these & are they good or bad. They are eating my carrots.
Thanks
caterpillers?
I THINK it's the black swallowtail caterpillar. They eat the flowers on my parsley. It is going to turn into a lovely butterfly.

If you can stand it, please let them be. After all, they ate the flowers on mine, and that's it!
They wont eat the carrot, and the tops wont suffer. They also like dill, fennel, parsley and rue I believe. They do look like the black swallowtail caterpillar
