    This could be Swallowtail Butterfly caterpillars. They commonly are found on Dill, though they love Parsley too.

    Washing and rinsing your Dill should be all you need to dislodge the caterpillars.

    Any seeds obtained from a spice jar may or may not grow into plants. Most will have poor germination, because seeds sold as spice are not stored in the proper way for maintaining the health and viability of the seeds. You could try germinating some in a paper towel, but it's more reliable to buy garden dill seed.

    This article explains how to grow it from seed:

    Dill is technically a biennial. This means that it will grow, vegetatively, the first year, and seed the next. However the seeds typically will take its place the next season.
