    Orchard Swallowtail Butterfly - Papilio aegeus?

    As far as I know yes, but I was thinking about feeding the worms before they pupate. (Obviously leaving a few to become butterflies and lay eggs - like we do with silkworms.);)

    Orchard Swallowtail Butterfly - Papilio aegeus?

    No the worms aren't hairy, looks pretty much like a silkworm except a vivid lime green colouration.

    Orchard Swallowtail Butterfly - Papilio aegeus?

    Hi all, Found some catapillars on my lemon tree this morning and after a web search it seems to be the above. Does anybody know if these are ok to feed to chams? I think my Oustalet would jump at the sight of this big green bug!:) My trees are not sprayed with pesticides so I don't think...

    Something funny/ cute of your cham.

    Shaboo10, my Oustalet male likes to climb onto the structure that the lights are hanging from and then he licks the pipe from which it is made!? Don't know if chams can develop an iron deficiency? ;) The bit about Gizmo licking your ear made me thought about it - weird... Don't let anybody...

    He shot me with his tongue

    My guy 'kissed' me one time - tongue on the lips. Guess my tongue looked like something nice to chew while I was talking to him...I can only say this - cold and sticky! :eek: My female has tried various times to 'catch' the moles and other discolourations on both me and my husband's skin...
