Found this behemoth in my flower bed while picking up stick before we mowed. What the hell is it?!

I found a 3 inch long tomato hornworm last week on my tomato plant COVERED with the eggs of that parasitic wasp that eats them...so I left it there...to be consumed.

It's fuzzy though. My DH thinks lunar moth caterpillar

 

[Pulsegleaner]

Nah, those are bumpy, not fuzzy.

Ironically, I know this because about three weeks ago I found an ACTUAL Luna moth caterpillar (or possibly Polyphemus, it's hard to tell the caterpillars apart) crawling along the sidewalk in Flushing and brought it home to raise and release (it's currently pupated and resting).
