Sure is Colorful

My first! This is a white lined sphinx moth caterpillar. Took a while to find that out. They burrow underground until spring then emerge in the moth state.

That is quite a colorful caterpillar! You were good to sleuth out the identification. This looks great enlarged.

Great find and capture. The transformation from caterpillar to moth/butterfly never ceases to amaze me.
