Reminds me of Large Tolype
except the intersegmental area of that one is black (see below). Maybe something closely related?

Thanks Hannah
I looked up Tolype and then searched my collection and found a potential candidate for my unusual moth caterpillar. On 7/15/07 Apotolype brevicrista got me excited at such a beautiful Moth!!! BGN doesn't have many of these & only for AZ. There are no caterpillars in BGN for this species that I could find.....yet! I will try to find one ID'd on the internet.
