Can someone tell me what this is. I imagine it is some kind of Spinx moth but have been unable to locate it online or at the library. For another picture of this interesting creature. Go to my other blog here.
UPDATE: AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE INFORMATION ON THIS CREATURE.
It is called a Tiger Swallowtail. Because of it's color I assumed it was a moth caterpillar. It is not, it is in fact a butterfly.
It took forever to find information on this guy. I was searching through archives of moth caterpillars. Doh!
Check out this link for photos of the caterpiller in the various stages and then becoming a butterfly.

DFP, It is downright creepy, if you ask me.
Pea, It does look like a fish.
Earthlingorgeous, It was hiding in my gazebo. We found it when we took it down for the season.
yah it looks like a funky fish to me too, but it can't be.
My 5 year old says it's "a sea shell with an eye". :)
He had a walk-on part in Dune.
Very strange! I'll be checking back to find out what it is. :-)
Looks like Pac-Man was found :-)
I've seen the gorgeous Tiger Swallowtail butterflies, but never the caterpillar - this is SO COOL!
truly fascinating
