looks like it to me to. Don't touch it or you may get a bad sting

I did a lot of research and that is what it is. A beautiful moth. The left is his head in case you were wondering. It almost looks like claws right below his head. I wasn't taking any chances so I didn't touch him. Thanks everyone for helping me id it.

Definitely an Io Moth. And this is what it will look like after emerging.
