mooky Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have just found 7 caterpillars on my fennel plant. Extremely pretty. Lime green, black stripes with orange spots. I think I have identified it as some sort of swallowtail. I had lots of different tpes in my garden this year. I am just not sure what sort. I would insert a photo, but I don't know how to do it onto a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
