Parsnip webworm caterpillar (Depressaria pastinacella), #0922

The larvae were partially emerging from their web cases and feeding on the flowerheads of the wild parsley. It doesn't take long for the plants to become quite chewed up. Since people are not fond of this introduced species (in the same family as the currently notorious Giant Hogweed), these larvae should be tolerated!
