unidentified caterpillar -
Ceratomia catalpae
Dixon, Pulaski County, Missouri, USA
August 12, 2010
Size: about 2 to 2.5 in long
I found it walking on my sidewalk in the front yard. It was fairly large and docile (didn't seem to bother it when I picked it up and relocated it.)

Didn't know there was such a thing, but there are Catalpa trees all around my house (none in my yard, but the neighborhood is full of them.) Thanks for the super fast response!
