Another caterpillar on my lemon tree. Beautiful markings very different to the others on the same tree. Formed a chrysalis yesterday

Can do Jackie. Is that okay for its health etc to take it away from the tree?

Wonderful thanks Paul and Jackie for your help and advice. Will work out a safe spot for the chrysalis today and keep an eye on it over coming weeks
