Black Swallowtail Caterpillar
I was happy to see a bit of color in my late summer garden, a bright green caterpillar with black bands and yellow spots, the larva of a Black Swallowtail Butterfly.
The Black Swallowtail Butterfly is shown in the first comment below. While many butterfly species have hairy caterpillars, this one is relatively hairless.
