Pest on a Calamondin

This is our first Calamondin, we have only had it 3 months. The fruit has started to turn a nice yellow/orange color. But we have found a small green worm has taken up resident. What would be safe to use to get raid of them?

Thank you for any help you can give me,
Arlene

You can handpick off the caterpillars or worms.
If they are still a problem I would try Neem Oil.

Here are some links with more information.
