possibly, but also...
I think this is Anisota peigleri which is found alongside A. senatoria in this part of GA. The two very similar larvae can be separated by A. peigleri having much more enlarged dorsalateral scoli, making it have a much more spiny appearance than A. senatoria which this individual shows a prominence of.
