Metta, I can't say for certain of the species. Hopefully, someone more familiar with species in your area help more.

WOW! A mushroom caterpillar. That is what it looks like. Awesome spot! So unusual. Never seen such a thing before.

I believe this is a caterpillar from Tribe Careini, possible Genus Carea (though I am not totally certain on the genus). It's a type f Nolid moth. While I couldn't find a ton of information, I was able to find these: http://myitchyfingers.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/darren5907/2049713559/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/hkmoths/2053551253/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/28859910@N02/5796184424
