It's a young larva of the Old World swallowtail butterfly, Papilio machaon ssp. melitensis - see https://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sites/default/files/bamona_images/papilio_machaon_bairdi_caterpillar4_raisingbutterflies.jpg
Also see https://seguna4.wixsite.com/maltalepidoptera/maltese-butterflies?lightbox=image_23zo for an adult butterfly.
