Three tiny caterpillars. I don't know for sure, but prior to my first sighting of these little guys I see little yellow drops on the anise plant. I'm sure theye are eggs, but can't say for sure. Once I spot the yellow eggs I keep watch and soon see the caterpillars. When I first spot them some are so small they can hardly be seen.
I cut off the branch they are on and bring them in the house. All they need at this time is a place to eat in peace. I put a piece of paper towel in a plastic take out container (recycling is the way) because anything that eats as much as these guys do is bound to produce some waste.
