Does anyone recognize these? There are on my patio Meyer lemon. They have eaten very little foliage. I have plenty of Bt to eliminate them but I hate to kill butterflies. I though it was bird poop at first!
Is this a good caterpillar or a bad one?
Looks like a giant swallowtail cat - enjoy it!

It is - who knew you could Google "bird poop caterpillar!"
