Caterpillar Friend

This little guy fell onto my sleeve while we were having lunch on an outdoor patio.  After my initial shriek (there's something alive on me!) I retrieved him to a napkin and then put him back on the tree, from which point he booked it at an impressive pace up the trunk until he was way up into the leaves again when we left.

Doesn't he have the cutest little face?  ;)




Anybody recognize him?  He's probably some big brown moth, but you never know, right?
ETA: He looks like a Heterocampa obliqua. (Warning for BIG photos of bugs. BIG BUGS!)
