Couple I got today at the city park. Shot with the Sigma 70-300mm @300mm on Macro setting.

And this one; so tiny he was. About an inch wide:

The final larval stage of the Cape York Birdwing on the leaf of a vine known locally as Dutchman's pipe due to the shape of its flower. The vine is growing on a hibiscus bush.
Larvae is 7cm-8cm in length.

Will keep an eye on it and see if I can catch the pupal stage.
