Colorful, blunt-horned Caterpillar - Eumorpha fasciatus
Baton Rouge - BREC Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, USA
September 12, 2006
Size: about 2 to 3 inches
I learned here that caterpillars of Banded Sphinx Moth - Eumorpha fasciata come in many colors, but this large green one too?

All caterpillars in this photo group were on the same small group of plants at the same time.
3 stripped ones
1 red one
2 green ones
