Loving plants is good. But if you love pest / worm I do not agree

This caterpillar has destroyed my lemon tree. In fact almost my lemon leaf swmua eat the caterpillar. image
Do you have an orange tree in the yard? if there is, then be careful because the tree is usually inhabited creatures you do not know. The creature is Papilio memnon. Do you often see green caterpillars attached to an orange tree and gnaw at its leaves? The caterpillar is a larval form of the Papilio memnon butterfly. The green caterpillar with this white strip will later morphed into a black butterfly with a red line on its wing.
Even. I found a cocoon beside her.

Papilio larvae memnon is very common in citrus trees in Southeast Asia. In addition to eating the leaves of citrus trees, they are also found eating the leaves of srikaya trees are still young. Various types of orange leaves can be a meal. Grapefruit, lime, lime, lemon and various other oranges do not escape into food.
Carefully take care of lemon trees / lemon trees. Hopefully a useful post.
