No need to capture it, leave it on the tree. It's a caterpillar of the Citrus Swallowtail Butterfly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papilio_demodocus

Indeed! Though I worry that our cats will eat them. Chai likes eating bugs...
Most cats will eat beetles, flies, flying ants, grasshoppers and moths but stay away from caterpillars
So Chai is waiting for the metamorphosis! 😹😹😹
Yep, I found one on my kitchen floor the other day that the cats had nabbed after it had emerged and the wings were still unfolding. The little turds didn't eat it, just tortured it a bit
Typical of cats though...
