Nice find! Welcome to Project Noah! This is a great community for sharing your photos of living organisms. If you know the identity of organisms you are posting, please make sure to add the scientific name or your spottings will be considered unidentified. To make your spotting more complete, we encourage everyone to include a description of your experience in the Description section and where you found the organism in the Habitat section. Additionally, you can include a link to an online resource with more information on your organism.

If you have not done so already, please have a read through the FAQ page: http://www.projectnoah.org/faq

The scientific name for your caterpillar is Papilio polyxenes asterius. :-)

I hope you enjoy it here!
