They are not as fussy as some butterflies. I think they also like fennel and parsley. Perhaps mom could have picked a better spot, but she lays eggs all over to increase the chance of offspring. Nice photo by the way!
These are monarchs and they LOVE milkweed. Maybe you could transfer them next time. If you don't have milkweed, you could plant one in an out of the way spot.
Donna, you are mistaken. Monarchs do not eat dill.
