Yuck!

Found these munching on my dill this afternoon. They draw back and look like they're ready for a fight if you bother them. They are really stripping my plants.


They make beautiful swallowtail butterflies-no wonder we've seen so many flitting about. They've been depositing their offspring in my garden!

    So I guess you can't kill them since they turn into a beautiful creature? Still......I'm sorry about your dill.....

    I think they are oddly beautiful. It is possible to re-home them on a plant you aren't growning for food?

    Annoying as they are, they are still beautiful. To kill them when so many butterflies are dying off would be terribly sad. Please can you shift them to somewhere else to feed?

    Eeek, they're very colourful though, and very beautiful once they've transformed in to butterflies.

    They are very striking caterpillars and beautiful in their way. Certainly they transform into very beautiful butterflies
