Black swallowtail caterpillar (Papillio polyxenes) on Queen Anne's Lace

This fine fat caterpillar was in the Butterfly Meadow. Beneath it, was, sadly, a dead one, that looked as if it might have been attacked by a predatory stinkbug. Isabelle also found one of these guys, bigger than this one, in the Backyard Garden, also on queen anne's lace. These plants, along with garden dill, and wild parsnip, are favoured larval host plants for the black swallowtail.
