Does anyone know?
It looks like a hornworm but I don't know...

Not a hornworm but someone may know what it is.

Tiger Swallowtail Caterpillar!!

A fast google search and that does look as though it is a Tiger Swallowtail Caterpillar. That is a brown phase caterpillar not a green phase.

Wow!
Thanks
Could chameleons eat this?
Just curious...

The Tiger Swallowtail Caterpillars mimics a poisonous Pipevine Swallowtail Caterpillars. Meaning you could just ID the two species of caterpillars wrong and poison your chameleon. However I say just stay with buying Silkworms and Horn Worms. As wild caught insects may harbor parasites and other assorted nasties your chameleons would not want to make a meal out of.
