Somewhat difficult (for me) to tell .. but seems your feller may would fit the bill of being one of the Slug caterpillar moths. > http://bugguide.net/index.php?q=search&keys=Slug+moth&search=Search

I'd taken a look at the Southern Flannel Moth, but {they} don't have those 'tendril-like'' extensions!

Possibly, this sweetie (and he's just developing his 'arms') .. Monkey slug/Hag Moth caterpillar (Phobetron pithecium) > http://bugguide.net/node/view/88730 .. & .. http://bugguide.net/node/view/24177

And, may could be this one also (* and again, possibly, in a different phase) > Stinging Rose Caterpillar Moth (Parasa indetermina) > http://bugguide.net/node/view/426

Didja happen to get any additional photos of this beastie .. grelli2 -?-
