LOL! That's probably true @tx_flower_child because just a couple of fennel plants isn't enough grazing to support the number of BST caterpillars that show up. I'm constantly having to remove eggs and a lot of baby cats just to have enough food supply to sustain a couple so they are able to reach maturity. Learned that the hard way - and I'm not willing to share the parsley with them at all. It's not unusual for eggs to be deposited 3-4 times in a single day. I'd like the native growing in a big container as an ornamental. There's plenty of plants in the pasture of those, but not the fennel.
