I saw one of these butterflies in my yard last week. Hoping they were making a stop by my carrots since I don't have dill

Because I grew up seeing these so much. I can't eat dill. The smell just gives me images of caterpillar in my head.
I walked by a woman whose outdoor plants were eaten up by these guys, and she said, "Want some caterpillars?" People used to keep them as pets sometimes, which sounds nice, but I didn't have any way to take them.
Curious; are these poisonous?
No. Entirely harmless unless you are made out of dill, parsley, or carrots. If you are, seek help. They will eat you! Om nom nom.
We caught mama laying some additional eggs later in the day.
