For some reason, we have had a string of ugly ane unwanted visitors in the

The first is a small, skinny snake, less that one foot long:

Thanks.  BTW, the caterpillar started to wiggle a bit after its photo
session, so I released it in a shady spot with lots of leafy foliage.

I don't think "the blob" had been partially eaten; I think it began to
decompose after I removed it and placed it in the sun to photograph it. It
appears to have a few suckers or mouths on one end of the underside, while
the upper surface is simply a gooey, globular mass. It looks a bit like a
slug, or a snail out of its shell.

The caterpillar could well be that of a sphinx moth; we have plenty of
the adults here in the summer, and I have no idea what their caterpillars
look like.
