Hi Alison - your larva is a Dainty Swallowtail (Papilio anactus), but the adult butterfly is a female Orchard Swallowtail (Papilio aegeus). Could you re-submit the larva as a separate sighting?

Thanks Suzie. How do I delete the larvae photo or could you do this as administrator?

Thanks. I've been going back through all my old photos. Unfortunately I can't identify where all of them have been taken, but am uploading those that I can identify the location.
