I planted parley last year ( early summer) for the purpose of attracting this particular butterfly.
So , March 07 of this year, I tried to clean my flower bed so I can plant some colorful flowers or some veggies. Well, as I'm pulling dead leaves off of my parsley, this is what I saw.

| early stage of eastern black swallowtail. |
I decided to pick them and shelter them so they will survive. I put them in the little plastice cage I have that my son used for his earthworm before.
Since I live in Los Angeles area, I'm not really sure if this is Eastern Black swallowtail. I've read places on the net and they all talk about eastern swallowtail.
So, I am really curious as to what this worm will become. I will for sure blog it later. But for now this is what they look like yesterday.
