Seems to be the regular Oleander Caterpillar
- those are definitely lateral lashes (long tufts along the sides), which the other species I was considering is not supposed to have (according to Wagner(1), our usual source for caterpillar ID). Thanks for posting the second angle on this. I'll move these images to the guide - it's an example of a less common host plant for us, so it will add value.
