This little caterpillar known as Lime Butterfly caterpillar that feeds on citrus plants feeding on their leaves. I am pretty sure that one day you will be a very beautiful butterfly. But not today, not whole feeding on my calamansi plant. This little guy ate around eight to ten leaves or maybe more. He was done on the one-fourth from top of my plant Going mid way. No. Not Today.

I found a lot of those in my calamine tree. I do enjoy looking at them and turning into butterflies.

yes, that would be good to see as long as they don't eat the leaves of the plant

I'm sure he would have been a pretty butterfly if you hadn't been so mean to him! You stomped the poor little thing!

Yes, those caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies. Those things are so voracious.
