We found this caterpillar in our yard. We didn’t touch but we moved it to a wooded area. What is it?

Hi Tera,
This sure looks like a Luna Moth Caterpillar getting ready to pupate. When pupation time nears, the typically green caterpillar turns pink. See this BugGuide image for comparison.
Great that is exactly what we saw today. Thanks
