As you can see here, it's 35mm long:

It was the largest one, of the 4
caterpillars on this very plant!

Excellent shot! Those colors are wonderful.
I hope I can find some next year. :-)
RE: that blue flower - I added to my

smallest thumbnail perhaps.

Thank you all for your comments and favs!
Indeed, it can still be found on the
explore frontpage:

Funny thing: the only time this happened
again to me was with "Butterfly catapult", which is another Papilio machaon capture, albeit an adult one :-) Maybe this
means I should spend more time with the
swallowtails than with the other critters!
LOL
This older capture has been kicked out of
explore though, from the recent changes in
the interestingness algorithm (along with
many others of mine), because apparently I
had added it to a lot of groups that require
mandatory comments... Oh, well, you can't
have them all :-)

about papilio machaon you can have in your
garden if you plant a ruda, they eat this
plant.
si siembras en tu jardin planta de ruda la
mariposa rey deshovara en ellas y las larvas
se comen las hojas para hacer luego
crisalidas y convertirse en belas mariposas.
Luego ponen sus huevos sobre las hojas de la
planta de la ruda y empieza yun nuevo ciclo.
sembrar planas de ruda y pronto tendreis
mariposas rey suerte y felicidades sonunas
bellas mariposas k son simbolo de felicidad
