This caterpillar has been identified in another site as the Tetrio Sphinx moth caterpillar.

Rhizo nailed it. And I looked it up and found some photos of the moth. Here's the link:

I guess it's good I didn't ID it - I was going to say it was a coral snake! :-0

HaHA Thanks anyway Misssherry! I appreciate it! :)

Don't give me credit for the ID. It was 'Tucker' in the Insect Forum. I'm just 'the messenger'.

How in the world do these cool looking moth cats become such plain looking adult moths? Seems like they should always retain at least some of the color. It's puzzling to me.

Yikes, if I ever spotted an 8 to 10 inch caterpillar, I'd totally freak.
