This year I planted parsley specifically to see if we would get any caterpillar eggs. All summer I have seen none but have beautiful parsley growing. Yesterday I was watering it and noticed teeny tiny yellow spheres on the underside of some of the leaves. :) FINALLY!!! This morning the little spheres were dark. And this afternoon this is what we have....18 of them!!!

It's a bit blurry since my camera doesn't take great pictures. But, in this picture you can see five of the baby caterpillars. I'm fairly certain they are Black Swallowtails, Oklahoma's state butterfly. :)
