Found on my front walk near lawn. Putrid smell when you touch it.

Not a Pale, but rather a Two-tailed Tiger
Moved from Papilio.

This appears to be a Pale Tiger Swallowtail Caterpillar. Nice find!

 
Pale Tiger
Thanks for leading me in the right direction. He (it) now seems to be identified. It actually is a butterfly.

If I find another one (ever), I will try to not let the birds get him.
