We found this bug next to the front door in Rockport, Texas. Can you tell us what it is?

Pipevine Swallowtail Caterpillar

Dear I don’t care,
This is the caterpillar of a Pipevine Swallowtail.  It is a very distinctive caterpillar and it is highly unlikely that it would be confused with any other caterpillar except possibly its close relative the Polydamus Swallowtail.
