Found these little bastards eating my parsley.



Any idea what it is and if I can treat for these guys with out killing the parsley and jeopardizing my health wit chemicals?

Thanks

it's automatic.

Is that so they will glow in the dark and make them easier to find? Does this not go against the health issue I referred too?

It's funny you mention that. Three or 4 years ago, a couple who are friends with my parents decided that they wanted to plant a butterfly garden so that they could watch all of the beautiful butterflies flitting about while sitting on their patio. We carry a nice mix so the wife was all excited to get it all prepped and ready for seeding. The following spring, the wildflowers really took off and had a nice array of colors. Sometime around the end of June she calls my father in a panic to see what she could spray to get rid of all of the disgusting "worms" crawling all over everything. He had to inform her that those were the butterfly larvae and that they would turn into butterflies. She was horrified and within a week had her husband mow it down and plant grass seed.

I don't want to kill them, just convince them that they do not like this particular parsley plant.

If you don't wish to tolerate these guys on your parsley, then you might simply pick them off by hand.

They greatly increase the protein nutrient value of the parsley. Enjoy!

I cut off the stalks they were on with them on and put them on my compost pile so they may find other foods there.
