I agree with DrP, definitely not D. carota, highly likely as Derrick suggests it is a poisonous member of same family and nearly impossible to ID from available info. This is why including additional photos of entire plant and habitat information are always helpful in getting an accurate ID.
Definitely be careful with the identification of this species (especially if you are considering eating it)! Many species close to the wild carrot are extremely poisonous. It's hard to tell from the photo which exact species it is because many species in this family have the same type of flower.
I don't think this is Queen Anne's lace. The flowers in the umbel are not clustered together closely enough. Also, Queen Anne's lace has long, sharply lobed bracts under the umbel, and there are no bracts visible here.
