Swallowtail caterpillars on oxalis - Galgula partita

Swallowtail caterpillars on oxalis - Galgula partita
Fullerton, Orange County, California, USA
July 6, 2014
I've had these guys on my pink flowering oxalis 2 years in a row. This year I scooped them up and brought them in as the plant is dying due to the draught. I have another if the same plant elsewhere in the yard and the caterpillars are readily feeding in the leaves.

How lucky you are to see these guys
The Oxalis is a great clue! They will eat any Oxalis, even the local weedy ones, so you can feed them the weeds! This is Galgula
