Polydamas caterpillar - Battus polydamas Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida, USA September 1, 2006 Size: 4 cm
On Aristolochia elegans in my yard. I've been growing the vine for two years hoping for one of these! I haven't yet seen an adult in my neighborhood, though I know they can be found at the Kanapaha Botanical Garden a few miles away.
