Fairly late in the season for this caterpillar. I suspect he will soon molt to a chrysalis.

Wow! That was quick from caterpillar to winged adult. Skipped right through chrysalis stage.
Nice captures.

That would have been amazing....But the caterpillar, which was still where I found him when I checked this morning, was gone by the time I got home from running errands...These shots were a bit later on my Cone flowers...There had been a Katydid on them as well, but it skedaddled before I could get close enough...
