The dill in my garden self-seeded itself (with a little help from me leaving the seed heads on). Dill is a host plant for black swallowtail caterpillars. These are looking healthy, yet we have a good population of birds in the area, so I worry a little. The photo below has five small caterpillars. The photo above was taken a few days later. When I was in the garden without my phone, I watched a swallowtail lay eggs on the dill...one tiny precious dot per plant.
