Thank you S Frazier.

My kids saw this first as a caterpillar eating the leaves of our calamansi (Citrofortunella microcarpa) plant which is like our local lime. My kids saw it become a papua and eventually this butterfly. Thanks for the id.

Hello Edward. Welcome to Project Noah! I took the liberty of deleting some duplicate images in this and another of your spottings. Each spotting deals with one species and each photo in a spotting should be unique. Cheers
