<p>Pretty, right? Surely no harm could come from such lovely looking butterflies…. Right? <em>Wrong</em>. So wrong. Looks can be <em>very</em> deceiving. These butterflies are definitely bad news in the garden.</p>

<p>I love <a href="https://amzn.to/3AqM87L">parsley</a>. Usually I try to plant a few <a href="https://amzn.to/2X5Bl4p">parsley plants</a> every year, but generally it ends up being no more than a handful of plants. This year, I managed to overwinter one single mature plant and have a few additional tiny seedlings. Despite only having one properly sized plant that could even possibly support something eating it - she found it. The Black Swallowtail found it again.</p>

<p>We’ve all heard the saying “lets talk about the birds and the bees”, right? Normally I love to talk about the bees (some of my absolute favorite critters), but what about the butterflies? Don’t the butterflies get any loving? Well yes, according to the photo I managed to snap, apparently they do!</p>
