Ornithoptera priamus euphorion
A huge caterpillar found munching on some leaves. Not sure what species
Found near Murray Falls in a tropical rainforest environment.
Was on a broad leaf tree which might have been a sandpaper fig.
Thanks EarlyStages, I saw lots of adults while I was there and knew this caterpillar had to be from one of the larger species. Thanks again for the ID
Here's the species account . . .
