A small creature moves with constant speed in a vertical circle on a bright day. Does its shadow formed by the sun on a horizontal plane move in a simple harmonic motion?

Yes, the shadow of the creature will move in simple harmonic motion. The body A is moving with a constant speed in circular path, hence its shadow projection on the horizontal plane will show periodic motion along its diameter.
