The caterpillar seems to have a nub of a tail or horn and is about 1 1/2 inch 
long.  This photo is zoomed from a distance as when I spotted the cat, it 
spotted me and started moving quite fast.  The other shots I got were out of 
focus.  He seemed to know where the hole was. Maybe he had been dodging my cats 
(felines).

  Betty, how big is your caterpillar?  Does it have a tail.... it's hard to 
tell against the stump.

    Can anyone idintify this caterpillar?   I did not see it eating, only 
resting on this plum tree stump.  When I got close, it crawled into the hole in 
the stump and I have not seen it since.
