OOPS! I thought you name was a generic description. I did not realize it was a proper common name:
Unicorn caterpillar (Schizura unicornis).

The moth is nearly as exotic as the larvae: http://bugguide.net/node/view/28015/bgimage

Great shots, I've not even seen a caterpillar in the garden so far this year (the father-in-law is happy though non to eat his tomato plants), the weather has been to the ducks liking.
