SilkwormsBIG caterpillar

Saw this big guy crawling up a tree in the woods near our house on the Eastern Shore of Virginia recently, and was wondering what it is. Fully extended, it was 4-5 inches long, and as big around as my thumb. I’ve never seen one close to that size before. Any help on the ID would be appreciated. Thanks.
