We have about 20 larvae on a single parsley plant. Out dill is used up. What else will they eat? [Linked Image]

I'm tempted to plant some Parsley just to grow swallowtails.
Very Cool.
I have planted rare Milkweeds (Purple Milkweed) and the monarch larvas chew them up.
I pull them off and put the caterpillars on common milkweeds.

host plants in the Apiaceae family.
most common wild growing plant in that family is probably Queen Anne's Lace or wild carrot.
