Just about every reference indicates that the butterfly/caterpillar which feeds on dill is a Black Swallowtail. The color variations in your photo look a bit different than most of the references. The closest Black Swallowtail match I found is in the link below about halfway down. So while that would be my guess, I defer to the butterfly experts. I'd bet a Butterfly Garden post will give you the right answer.. Here is a link that might be useful: A Butterfly Garden Web Page

Ok, I though I'd posted 3 pictures, but I guess only 1 went through. I've posted the other two (a close up of the deadheads and of the foliage) at the same link as in my original post. bboy, I searched for pictures of S. ocymoides after I saw your suggestion. The pictures I've found of do look very similar to the plant I have. Also, one page I saw said that S. ocymoides is semi-evergreen, and my plant stayed green throughout the winter. I'm pretty certain you are correct, but take a look at the two new pictures I posted. Thanks!

What type of Rubus species. Is it a weed or a keeper? As to the parsley I didn't grow any, but my neighbour grew some above me. Any other ideas what it could be? It's growing very slowly in my lemon pot indoors. Thank you.
