You've stumped me

Well, I can only guess it is lurking in the dark spot behind the leaves?

Ummm. The curvy leaf that's dead center in the pic looks like it might have a caterpillar nestled in the tip?

Here is my guess...

Good one, CV! And all this time it was hiding in plain sight. Nice nose ornament.

Ah, I see! Nice critter!

Looks like it is starting to form a pupae in that picture. I couldn't see it even thought I was looking right at it!

its the way they camouflage. these sit right along the central leaf line and skip detection. this is a medium sized caterpillar and will take 4 to5 days more to transform into a pupa .......

Wow. It was hard to find even in the enlarged pictures!
