Looks just like Anisota senatoria, but I don't know what else looks like this. See

Moved to A. senatoria (species group)
I'm trying to clean up this group. This may be A. peigleri, but the taxonomy is very confusing. The caterpillars of the
Anisota senatoria
group (includes
peigleri
and
finlaysoni
as well) are distinctive, so it makes sense to put them together.
See the guide page for details.
