I've planted rows and rows of dill to attract blue swallowtails to my garden this year.  The hope is that I can relocate caterpillers to a specific set of plants, leaving me with a bit of dill leftover at the end!

Good idea. Last year they were pretty fond of Aaron's fennel:

And this year they seem to be all over my rue:

I like growing dill to attract wasps. Wasps really love to munch on cabbage worms. And I've been lucky enough to catch them in action (no picture though)
