What is this weed? Pix included

12 years ago

I normally try to keep this one out of my yard because it makes me sneeze like crazy when I mow over it. But I noticed the larve of the black swallowtail all over it, so I left it. I'll try to relocate it to the back of the meadow in the fall so I don't have to come in contact with it.

Dill or fennel would be my guess.

No, not those, at least not like the photos of those I found online. It used to just grow in the bar ditch but it has moved to my backyard now.
