Found this alien caterpillar at the pond!

Top one was edited to try and mimic the color.

It is a Western Tiger Swallowtail

I see those butterflies around my house all the time, especially when the sedums start to bloom... but I have never been lucky enough to see a caterpillar. VERY cool!

I thought it was a toy on the ground as little kids like to play near the pond... until it moved! I had to take some pictures! This thing is awesome! My iPhone doesn't capture the color of this thing! almost traffic cone orange.
