Found this dude on a "wild" Tulip Tree this afternoon while taking the kids' dogs around the yard. iNaturalist suggests it is a Midsummer Tiger Swallowtail, part of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Complex.

Great spotting while out with the dogs! It’s fascinating to think that this chunky green caterpillar may one day become a graceful swallowtail butterfly...V

Fantastic close up shot. Always fun to see these tiger swallowtail larvae, though I've not seen any this year. V
