Polyphemus moth caterpillar

Antheraea polyphemus

Notes:

Correction: I thought this was Luna moth. This caterpillar was so similar to Luna, but actually, this is Polyphemus moth caterpillar.

Thank you maplemoth662. I agree. It is big and beautiful caterpillar.
I first thought that this was Luna moth, but I was wrong. They are very similar though.
