I’ve misplaced an adult #caterpillar but there are five babies #Fingerlime #Swallowtail #Butterfly
Update on the #caterpillars on my #fingerlime tree #Swallowtail
There’s two adults and two “babies”, that I’ve seen. They blend in so well that I keep losing them 🤣
I’m guessing the small small brown, white and black ones are babies?
Aww thank you!
I used Bing, it’s bl**dy useless!
Such a creepy looking caterpillar that turns into the most beautiful butterfly.
I feel quite honoured as I have two of them on my #Fingerlime tree, maybe a third as there’s a teeny little critter too

#Citrus australiasica, aka the #fingerlime! These flowers are off a cultivar I’ve been growing for several years now. They’re lovely plants if you don’t mind having a living pincushion in your garden (they are absolutely covered in spines).
Harvest Day
Non-Australians may not know of the delight and very specific pain of owning this aussie delicacy.
Minimal bleeding so far, after 7 years of understanding this fruit.

Long and slender limes.
when you cut them open, the insides spill out?
The granularity feels like caviar.
