Do monarch butterfly larva eat parsley?
We have parsley in our garden that is covered in Monarch eggs and there are 7 caterpillers eating the parsley leaves, not the stems. We were so surprised, they are about a week old now and 1inch long. We live in Northern Alambaba ****************** Unless your caterpillars are eating milkweed, you have found something other than a Monarch caterpillar. Female Monarchs lay their eggs exclusively on the milkweed plant and the caterpillars eat nothing but the leaves of the milkweed plant. This is one of the reasons why Monarchs are becoming more and more endangered. The milkweed is classed as a noxious plant in many jurisdictions and sprayed. I remember as a child finding "monarch" caterpillars on the carrot leaves in the garden and being disappointed when they turned into something other than a Monarch. The butterfly we discovered was just as beautiful - the Black Swallowtail. The caterpillars you find on parsley leaves are likely those of the Black Swallowtail which feed on the leaves of the carrot family, including celery, dill and parsley. The caterpillars bear a certain resemblance to the caterpillar of the Monarch. Search "Black Swallowtail" in Wikipedia to see a picture of one, or try this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Swallowtail Compare that caterpillar with this image of a Monarch caterpillar at this Wikipedia site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Monarch_Butterfly_Danaus_plexippus_Vertical_Caterpillar_2000px.jpg

Do fuzzy black caterpillars sting?
Monarch caterpillars do not sting. It is a fairly safe assumption that no butterfly or moth larvae possess the capability to inflict a sting via an organ designed for the purpose. As for biting, their mouthparts are designed for the efficient consumption of plant material and are not likely capable of delivering a bite as a defensive mechanism. Of course, there could be rare exceptions. Unusual adaptations in nature are not without precedent.
