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?

Hi Alison
To remove the photo of the larvae, click on the box named "Edit" at the top of this page. Then at the bottom of the page you should see the row of photos. Click on "remove" for the photo you want to remove. Then click on "update this sighting".
Thanks for very good contributions.

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.
