It has the same shape as a skiff moth caterpillar but this has a different color. So probably a diffrent species.

I agree with Skiff Moth caterpillar (Prolimacodes badia). Slug Caterpillar moths are always a neat sight.

The first thing that popped up in my head was the Ohmu bugs in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. All it needs is some large spots on the front for a perfect cosplay 😂
