I found this critter on a rue plant given to me by a neighbor. Abt an inch- inch & a quarter long. Am I going to rue this little guy, or will he turn into something gorgeous that doesn't eat my garden?
I hope nobody on Dave's takes points off for bad puns.

looks like a Black Swallowtail cat.

Yes, leave him! He looks like he is about ready to pupate and the chrysalis will probably be on the plant. P's right, he'll be a gorgeous Black Swallowtail.
Tease him till he sticks his horns out at you!!!
Puns are good!
Be sure and hold your nose!
Thanks everybody!
Pat
