Dear Soma jah, this is a papilionidae's catterpillar, unless you culture this catterpillar in a lab condition upto adult, it is dificult to say. you can get id the host plant which is eating, and can cometo a ner conclusion. hope the experts can come to more conclusion. you can also try for culturing the same. it is easy. With regards Rajib
