looks a lot like a Papilio species.

I think this is Papilio (Heraclides) androgeus.

They often pupate at the base of the food plant, when I took a group collecting trip to the Dominican Republic, I found many pupa at the
hotel just by looking in the bushes, the easy way to catch a butterfly.

I remember staying at a hotel in the Florida keys and my first night there I was doing a walkabout around the hotel looking for moths around the various lights. In the process, I found a swallowtail chrysalid attached to the outer walls and adjacent to some ornamental bushes.
I should have looked at those bushes the next day for larvae but, I forgot and continued on with the trip.
Still, after my arrival at home I had a giant swallowtail butterfly emerge...
