Papilio demoleus malayanus
I found this caterpillar on the citrus tree in my backyard. This is a 3rd instar caterpillar of Lime Butterfly (@ Swallowtail Butterfly). It is grey-white (like a bird-dropping appearance), and have false-spikes in its body. The size of this caterpillar is about 15 mm long.
- Around the garden and bushes (on citrus plants).
- Lime butterfly is a part of family Papilionidae. The caterpillar of lime butterfly only feeds on the leaves citrus plants.
