"What is That? - Lean and Green, Pt. 2 - _TNY_5972
This caterpillar is in it's final larval stage before having eaten enough and will soon turn into a chrysalis to begin the metamorphosis into an adult common yellow swallowtail (Papilio machaon), also known as the old world swallowtail.
If you look closely (or even zoom in) in front of the caterpillar, you can see a small fly of some sort. It almost looks like the caterpillar watching it.
