Its the Lorax! Lol. Very interesting find!
Moth caterpillar of Family Lasiocampidae
I know, bizarre right?? I've worked in that forest for 8 months, hiking around almost everyday, and I only saw this type that one time. That's why I always have my camera, you may never see it again! Hopeing someone can help with the ID. I've tried googling "smiley face caterpillar" and nothing, not sure what else to try.. Haha
great spotting, made me smile!!
