Giant swallowtail butterfly caterpillars
by: Gerald

I took a few to a local garden nursery; they said the same thing, not to kill them. I didn't but they're gone - I think the birds got them. I donno where else they could have gone.

You have Giant swallowtail butterfly caterpillars so please do not kill them!
Tho they may eat a little of your citrus trees they are NOT pests.
Here are some images of more caterpillars and the adult butterfly...absolutely gorgeous! And large!
The caterpillars feed on leaves of Citrus species, prickly ash, and hop trees. Butterflies feed on nectar of flowers.
Nice camouflage...looking like bird droppings!
