Hi Lisa,
This is the caterpillar of a Cecropia Moth. It was most likely looking for a place to spin a cocoon in preparation for the approaching winter.
my friend found this Cecropia catterpillar in our apartment drive way and she has him in a bug catcher home and her dad said that he could be poisoness and also he is a long way from home i just noticed that he was originally from toronto and we found him in windsor ontario if you can get back to us on what we should do that would be great thanks

Cecropia Moths, and their caterpillars, are native to your area. Neither Cecropia Moths nor their caterpillars are poisonous.
