Would appreciate help in identifying this caterpillar. Its body appears light purple, almost see thru. I’m thinking the pink is its innards. I love bugs and all insects and am curious about this one. It is so distinctive and different colored than most. Appreciate your help. Thanks.

Dear Lex,
Prominent Moth Caterpillars in the genus Heterocampa like your individual frequently change color from green to pink or purple just prior to pupation.
Just found this same Caterpillar in my driveway. I live in asheboro nc
