Cocoon found on cumquat tree. Can it be identified? I was wondering if it would harm the tree.

Shoebox container? Does it need air holes?

Did it emerge Patricia? I'm pretty sure Kerrie is right about Papilio aegeus

Alas no, I kept it for some time, eventually cracked it open and it was empty. Eaten by something else?
