Thank you very much JamesPriest2. I have seen butterflies, but this is my first spotting of the caterpillar, so I was happy to share this with Project Noah.

Had Wanderer butterfly (as they are known in Australia) caterpillars in my yard when I was a teenager as Mum grew milkweeds back then. Enjoyed your video as its been a long time since I've seen the caterpillars eating

Thank you so much Hema Shah. They are very aggressive, but they become graceful and beautiful butterflies. Amazing.
