A maligned pest of Citrus plantations. It is an unfortunate coincidence that butterflies are dependent on some of our major tropical crops for their caterpillar phase. Many swallowtails, such as the above species, feed on the Citrus plants, Owls (Caligos) feed on bananas, Longwings (Heliconiinae) feed on Passion fruit vines and Graphiums feed on Soursops and Custard apples.
