Your letter to the bugman:  Can you tell us what this is before we leave the state? Have lived in Florida for 17 years and have seen some strange bugs but this one takes the cake.

Orange Dog

Dear Dennis,
This is the Caterpillar of a Giant Swallowtail, commonly called an Orange Dog because they feed on the leaves of orange trees and other citrus.
