Looks like a luna moth caterpillar.

It is. We usually have them around here but I haven`t seen one in a couple of years now.
Not as many here as there used to be. Too many durn lights everywhere.

As Nick said, lots of pesticides. Our insect population is way down all over the south. Lots of people do not realize, insects make up the foundation of the food chain, insects go, we go...no pollinators, no food most of the animals....
