Awesome spotting!
What a huge head!
Metta, I can't say for certain of the species. Hopefully, someone more familiar with species in your area help more.
thanks for stopping by Carol Snow Milne :)
And it will become a moth :)
WOW! A mushroom caterpillar. That is what it looks like. Awesome spot! So unusual. Never seen such a thing before.
Thank you so much ForestDragon :)
Coul it be a Carea angulata?

I believe this is a caterpillar from Tribe Careini, possible Genus Carea (though I am not totally certain on the genus). It's a type f Nolid moth.
While I couldn't find a ton of information, I was able to find these:
