Lophacampa maculata
This caterpillar is hard to identify because I think it's a spotted tussock moth caterpillar and that particular moth has a bunch of different colorings depending on its age. I think it's in its mid-instar stage because of the black spots along its back.

Was this caterpillar eating a blackberry leaf.
Great shot, Sherri.
