Look at the size of this thing!



This is a caterpillar I found crawling around my backyard. I did some research and I believe it to be a Sphinx moth caterpillar. I am not sure which Sphinx moth, but something close to a Laurel or Waved Sphinx moth. Look at the horn on it's rear in the second picture. It was as hard as a rose thorn. Pretty neat find.
