PLEASE don't provoke it as these papilionid caterpillars raise the worst stink if provoked!... They react by sending out a red organ called the Osmeterium that produces an aweful smell to repel predators... Can't forget the one that escaped from my care and was found in my brother's clothes... What a fragrant night!...
You can raise it in a big box and put fresh leaves for it... Its very fun!...
BTW... Mine was Papilio demoleus... or the lime swallowtail...
