Scouting Citrus for Pests - Page 22
The “orangedog” (Papilio cresphontes) is a black and white larva resembling a bird dropping. The brown adult with 2 lines of large yellow spots across wing is called the giant swallowtail. Larvae may defoliate young trees, especially in late summer. They are attacked by parasitic insects such as tachinid flies. Bacillus thuringiensis ("BT") is usually recommended when an application is required since it is quite effective at low rates and will not harm beneficial insects.
