My granddaughter and I walked down to the river today and on the walk back home we saw this pink caterpillar. I have never seen one. Have you and do you know what kind it is?

Dunno but found a somewhat similar about 2 months ago. Almost hot dog length. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/11/full-14301-117266-caterpillar.jpg)

All I could find was the color may be associated with a diet of fall colored leaves and/or getting ready to pupate.

This one looks more like a horned tomato worm.
