Laura:

Hi Kelley, I sure have enjoyed reading all about your bugs but especially the birds you see. Now I have the most FAQ you get: what is this creature? Habitat was arid mesquite, shin oak, juniper hillside (the type perfect for Black-capped Vireo, Scott’s Oriole, and Rufous-crowned Sparrow. I’ve got two pictures of the red caterpillar, just click the next arrow at the top of the first picture to advance to the next picture.

That mini-beast is wild looking, huh? It’s a pipevine swallowtail caterpillar. There is some nice info here and here about the butterfly.
