I have 1 pre-pupa that will shuck it's skin today, I think. One pupa on m pot, and a lot of hungry caterpillars. They have completely defoliated my parsley, so I got some more. there are 21 of them now. This video shows the caterpillars as they are being transferred to the store bought parsley. I washed it good, it's Organic, so the biggest fear is that they will have used Bt on it. Bt infection would be heartbreaking right now. Look at the color variation in the 5th instars! I know it's not much, but some of them are much greener than others. Some are green with narrow black stripes and some are almost melanized.
