Found a few of these on my lemon tree. Started as the very small black and white colouring before turning green when a lot larger. A swallowtail I think?

Thanks Jackie. Lovely. Looking forward to watching these develop further and emerge from their chrysalis in coming weeks. Taking a daily image I hope to convert into a timelapse-type video
