Not the greatest photo--it actually was moving kind of quickly!
put I found this on the gravel road and took some pictures of it and then turned it loose in my flowerbed, but am curious as to what it will become
anybody know?

It is possibly the Hyles Euphorbiae larva. It will become the Spurge Hawk Moth and is used to help rid areas of noxious weeds. It is a rather pretty moth.

That is a lovely caterpillar for sure. Great color and rather unique to those that I normally see in this area. You did a good job of photographing it.
