could it be an infestation of blackfly, which has then been eaten by ladybirds/wasps. I had them on my spinach beet which is quite unusual

Notts_Phil - sorry cant help as havent seen anything like this before. I note that you have taken off the infected leaves - has it come back on the others or do your parsnips look ok now?
