Caterpillar - Estigmene acrea
Mt. Herman, McCurtain County, Oklahoma, USA

Size: About 1.5 inches
It resembles the wooly bear caterpillar, but not enough rufous.
It was crawling across the road, in great haste, next to a pond.

I'd say this is
an Acrea Moth larvae, Estigmene acrea, but I'd wait for a confirmation.
