Strange catapillar

[James Hanlon]

Note that the brown paper bag should be stapled or taped shut at the top. Be
careful not to injure the pupa when openning the bag. If the caterpillar is
bright green, get it on some fresh foodplant right away.

When I got into the car today, I felt something crawling on my neck. I
hurled
it onto the car floor not knowing what it was. I don't recall ever seeing
one
like it before. Can anyone identify it and tell me what it eats. Should I
try
to nurse it back to health or return it to the wild? This is in Dallas,
Texas.
I had walked under pecan, ash and pear trees.
