Having seen tons of the caterpillars around, yes! I agree with Keith too. LOL! Thanks again both of you!

Beautiful spotting! I agree with Keith. Definitely Genus Datana. The species in this Genus can be hard to separate but it does look quite similar to Datana integerrima. I can't say 100% if it is that one.

Walnut Caterpillar Moth - Datana integerrima - seems most likely.
