Hi Robert,
This is a Tetrio Sphinx Caterpillar, Pseudosphinx tetrio, which feeds on Plumeria. It is not venomous. It matures into a large gray moth.
They are also in Mameyes, Dominican Republic. My son just saw on & sent me the picture because it was so big & brightly colored.
I hope it’s not poisonous!?
