The project entails setting "thresholds, monitoring, and treatments - cultural, mechanical, biological,and/or chemical. Any info would be helpful on the ways to control the parsleyworm.

Picked them all off for both the fennel as well as for the kids to watch them change. Always a good at home project to get the kids involved with nature! Not enough fennel growing to just leave them, love the little critters too much to destroy them, especially since they change into something so beautiful and beneficial. You have to admit as well that as far as caterpillars go, they are on the cool side when even little boys think they are "neat!"

I have been raising Monarch butterflies, a friend of mine has been doing it for quit sometime. I had my husband build me an encloser....6ft tall and aprox. 5 ft wide. I had Milkweed everywhere as my friend told me plant them and they will come...none came LOL So she had been giving me the caterpillars and I would send her a health untouched milkweed now and then. Right now I have 27 chrysalis and 9 Monarch caterpillars in the encloser!! So when I went out to my herb garden and saw the Swallowtail I was astatic to say the least...went to the store and bought more parsely and put them in an enclosure and cant wait to watch the whole process, Isn't nature amazing!!
