Found this guy in the parking lot at the vet today. I was afraid he was going to get hurt so I relocated him back to the flower bed. He was the coolest worm I’ve ever seen and actually quite large! (Straight out of the camera, not even a crop!)

I think it’s a Tersa Sphinx caterpillar: www.duke.edu/~jspippen/naturephotos/tersa-sphinx.htm
