Eumorpha caterpillar
by: Moni

Wyoming
Without a side view it is not possible for a positive ID, but it is probable an Achemon or a Pandorus moth caterpillar.
Here are some photos of that genus - http://bugguide.net/node/view/3936/bgpage

These caterpillars are in the Sphinx family, which all have tails. Some species like this one lose their tail during the last stage as a caterpillar before turning into a pupa.
The caterpillars and the moths are large and cool to see.
