These little guys showed up twice in my herb pot last year and laid waste to my parsley plant. It came back better than ever both times, so I wasn't too concerned a couple days ago when the girls came running to tell me that they're back. This time, we did some research. And the parsley strippers are...
Papilio polyxenes! Or, black swallowtail. Isn't it pretty? I didn't take that picture. I'm kind of honored that these beautiful creatures saw fit to lay their eggs in my herb pot.
