the caterpillar of the black swallowtail butterfly
I don't think so! I've seen this "worm" on the cover of the National Geographic magazine about 50 years ago - and I've seen this "worm-like" creature on the porch of our house in northern Indiana about 40 years ago. The "worm" is about 5-6 inches long - the "head" is around an inch in diameter - maybe bigger. If I remember correctly, there were little antenna that enabled it to see. There were black & yellow markings on the front of it's "head" that looked like big eyes - the article in the Geographic said these were a protection - to scare potential prey. A black forked tongue flitted out of it's mouth. The "worm" was a bright green color. I have wondered about this little creature for years - it's way too big to be a caterpillar of a butterfly. I've tried putting all kinds of descriptions in Google, but they all fall short of my "nightmare worm". It's probably not a worm at all, but I don't know what other category to put it in. Reptile? It would be an awfully short, fat snake. Can anyone help me find what this creature is? VL/Indiana
