CLOSED: big juicy grub? with suction cup feet

(Zone 8b)

Anyone know what this is? It was on my front porch mat, and unfortuately I didn't see it before I opened the door and it kinda got its rear end injured. That is all the lighter green goo coming out the back side. It has suction cup looking feet and it is large, as seen next to the quarter.

Looks like a larva of an Imperial moth, Eacles imperialis - http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/galveston/Gardening-Handbook/PDF-files/GH-045--imperial-moth-caterpillar.pdf

Yes, thank you.
