CLOSED: What is this caterpiller??

Nacogdoches, TX(Zone 8a)

This caterpiller was found in Nacogdoches Texas. (East Texas) I have never seen anything this big or aggressive. Was not happy to be messed with. He looked like he could do some damage to something.

I think it might be the caterpillar of a Regal Moth, Citheronia regalis

I also think it might be a Regal Moth, Citheronia regalis. My friend Susan found this one in another friend's garden. As you can see, harmless. ...to humans anyway.
