Unknown worm

After reading another blog concerning horn worms, I went out to my little garden and immediately spied a worm of my own. I don't think this one is a horn worm, but it sure is pretty. I found this guy eating one of my carrot tops. Since it's so late in the season I decided to let him go. They are rather pretty and anyway, I figure they have just as much right being here as I do.
