These larvae were munching on some carrot blooms. Carrot blooms, you say? Yes, I did not pull them up and they made some lovely Queen Anne's Lace type flowers. Little did I guess that my laziness would result in a fattening meal for these larvae. There were 3 of them but 2 disappeared and I do not know whether they made it to the pupa stage or became the meal for a hungry bird. I wish I had made a movie of them eating. It was really munching away and had bits of flower sticking out the sides of it's mouth.
Great picture!
