I don't really know Caterpillar's all that well but yours looks more like a Buckeye to me:

This is the Monarch Caterpillar: http://www.google.com/search?q...


By the way, while googling I found this great page of N.C. Butterflies with beautiful photo's: http://www.duke.edu/~jspippen/...

Jan: Thanks for those links. I'm not sure the buckeye is correct, but it's close. The Anisota senatoria looks very much like it, but does that morph into a butterfly or moth? Didn't see anything showing its final stage. I've marked Jeff's North Carolina Butterflies under my favorites!

I think Jan may be right. Check out these pic's of Anisota senatoria moth/caterpillar:
