Brady found this little guy in our neighbor's driveway. He came running home to say he found a "snake's head and it's still moving". Gross! We went over to investigate and found this caterpillar. After some internet research, I determined that it is a Tiger Swallowtail caterpillar. The "eyes" are fake. They're used to make birds think it's a snake. Too bad we didn't capture him, because according to my research, they turn dark green / brown right before they make their cocoon.
