Papilio demoleus
Found this on my lime tree. Early instar "birds-dropping" caterpillar.
Hey, on my iPad your common name looks great!! Maybe I have to upgrade my Mac system which would mean buy a new one :-((... ;-)...
OK, then let's hope, that the others might see the correct name. I have no problems with your alphabet :-)...
Hi Bayucca this is my mother tongue and it says 'lime butterfly. My mother tongue is Malayalam. I would like to add the local names in Malayalam too. :))
നാരക ശലഭം that's what I see on my screen...
Scientific name is correct, Lime Swallowtail as well, but the first common name looks strange. I would only take Lime Swallowtail as common name and add the other names in the description section. Maybe it is just a problem of the font.
Please, check your entries in common and scientific name fields, looks a little bit crazy ;-)...
Papilio sp., early instar, looks like being Papilio demoleus. Please, verify! You have some other Papilio in India and some of the caterpillars look quite similar, depending on the instar.
