Skipper Caterpillars

Strange Caterpillar
Found this in the yard – Northern Alabama. Light green body, dark purple head and weird orange eyes!! Cool looking, alien! What is it? Thanks!

Hi Mike,
This very distinctive caterpillar belongs to a butterfly called the Silver Spotted Skipper, Epargyreus clarus.
