Hickory Horned Devil
I wish the photo were better but this was the best of the bunch. None of us has EVER seen anything like this. It was huge, hard, spiney, its head was actually retractable unter those biggest spike and eye-spots. Looking up the identification, it is a Hickory Horned Devil. It eats hickory which we've got tons of. If you have wild hickory nuts, try this: The ones that are best to eat (sweet instead of bitter) are large & squared off more than round.
This thing turns into the Regal Moth which is as large and orange.
