Don’t have much info other than that these are rather large larvae on a tree in Honduras. Photo taken by a friend of a friend.

Arsenura armida aggregation
Dear Scott,
Over the years, we received similar images four times before we finally identified the Caterpillars as Arsenura armida, a Neotropical Silkmoth that ranges from Mexico to Brazil. Here is a website with information on the caterpillars. The God of Insects website has an image of the adult moth.
