On first look, it may seem like a giant bird took a poo on our Meyer Lemon tree, but upon closer inspection, you'll see it's an Eastern Swallowtail caterpillar taking a nap! This is one of the biggest Swallowtail caterpillars I've seen here. I wonder how long he's been nibbling on our tree without us noticing...
I believe it will be the yellow Swallowtail, based on the fact that I saw one laying her eggs on the lemon tree a couple of days ago.
