Papilio anactus
This yellow and brown caterpillar somewhat resembles a bird dropping.
Feeding on a lime tree (Citrus)
I've been watching some butterflies trying to lay eggs on this Citrus in my yard but have not even seen any eggs. Finally one has developed. I've seen these adults defending a hilltop habitat. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/826...

Thank you Mari.
Update on this caterpillar. It got eaten today by some predator, leaving a blood stain on the leaf. :(
Compare with this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/wimmera_mot...
Very cool.
