Western Giant Swallowtail
Papilio rumiko

Submitted by: nikiparadise
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: He is on a lime tree, at first I thought it was a caterpillar as it looked like he has legs but he hasn't moved so I'm guessing he's a pupa or cocoon. i couldn't find anything on the internet that looks like him.
