I had the kids look it up and it is a Gypsy Moth. This really is the biggest caterpillar that I've ever seen and it's colors are really pretty.
here is it on a regular sized card so you can see the size of it.

we were wrong, it's not a gypsy moth. Now I gotta find out what it really is now.
The other one we have, the luna moth, is still in it's cocoon. Still waiting for a change on that one. :)

Here is what it is. It is a Hyalophora cecropia. The gypsy moth looks way different that this. It is NOT a gypsy moth.
