Limenitis archippus
This bird dropping mimic caterpillar changed color three times before its chrysalis stage.
This one was feeding on a quaking aspen sapling about 16" inches tall.
I'm not sure if it changed color because of its surroundings or the stage of growth. When I found this it was colored red.
