Found this on our property in Hambden Twp. in May. Came back to see it again in about 5 minutes and it was gone. Any idea on what it may be? Thank you!

Thanks for sending a nice picture of a Giant Leopard Moth caterpillar.
Giant Leopard Moths belong to the tiger moth family. If you haven’t seen what the moth looks like, check out this link at bugguide.net.
Look for the adult next spring/summer — they are attracted to lights.
