The closest match I have is A
The closest match I have is Astylis biedermani, a large Notodontidae species or Prominent. I have only seen a couple pictures of this species and they didnt have a nearly as vivid color. The large size of this larvae would also support Astylis biedermani. This picture caught my attention. I don't normaly deal with this family but I found this interesting. Anyone else know of another species this could be?

Astylis biedermani
After I had your ID, I sent this picture to Bruce Walsh and he verified that it is A. biedermani. Thanks for your help.
