What kind of caterpillar is it?

Looks like a hornworm

Thanks. Never seen one that big.
Used to feed small one to my chameleon.

I feed those to my reptiles!! I usually have them shipped from out of state. ill gladly take them if you don't want them

Best bet is to pick them off or they will destroy your plants. If you see white eggs on the back, they are wasp eggs. The eggs feed on the caterpillar from the inside out. The hornworm originally came over from Europe on tabaco leaves

Damn, I just put it in the woods. I used to buy and feed to my chameleon; they aren't cheap. If I see it or anymore will save them for you.

Found out white stuff is wasp larvae that eat the worm before they pupate.
I let them go.
