I’ve seen 3 or 4 of these guys now, but the only help I’ve gotten on ID is that it is some type of moth. Anybody out there know?

Stinging Slug Caterpillar
Hi Phil,
This is sure a beautiful photograph. Our money is on a Stinging Slug Caterpillar from the family Limacodidae, but we haven’t the time at the moment to research an accurate species identification.

Getting it down to species level might be hard. there are about 120 within Limacodidae.
this might be a Parapluda sp. but don’t quote me on that.
