Hey Everyone. This is a neat forum. Lots of valuable information to be gained here.
Had a friend from Maryland post a picture to Facebook of a Caterpillar she ran into on a walk she also wondered what it might end up turning into.
Being curios my self I started searching. I'm fairly adequate with google. I tried an image search by uploading the image to get similar results but got no real results.
So, I googled for forums and came across Dave's Garden.
This is the one image she posted along with the short blurb about it.
I saw the biggest, most beautiful caterpillar I have ever seen in my life! It was kind of iridescent too, which was a good things since that also helped me see it along with its size. Can anyone identify it and tell me what this beauty will turn into?

It's a caterpillar of an Imperial moth, Eacles imperialis - http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Eacles-imperialis
Thanks!
