Callosamia
I live in Eastern Ontario in Canada. I have found 2 of these Callosamia (I think). Mine had like 4 beetlebugs on there necks. Is it in the same family as the Callosamia? Can these catterpillars live so to the north?

Callosamia does occur in Canada
You could have Callosamia promethia in your area. The other 2 species are more southern in distribution.

You might also want to look at the larvae of Hyalophora columbia & Hyalophora cecropia also.
