Immature green caterpillar with light diagonal stripes on the sides that attach to a long stripe that goes down the length of the cat on each side. There are light spots all over the body. The head is free of markings. There is a red horn on the rear. This was less than 2 cm long. The last image shows what I saw when I first spotted it.
