Large green caterpillar almost 3 inches long. Please watch video: https://youtu.be/Zb5xjueGiwA
Spotted at Seven Devils Swamp.
According to Wikipedia, the caterpillar can eat 86,000 times its weight at emergence in a little less than two months.
Thank you Saturniidae27. I believe your right. The difference is subtle but there is typically a faint/thin yellow horizontal band across the Luna moth caterpillar that mine doesn't have.
