You're looking at a slug caterpillar moth — named for their larvae, which bear a resemblance to slugs. The iNat community hasn't confirmed this one's species quite yet, but it sure is spectacular.

Been too long since I've seen one of these children (spun glass slug moth caterpillar) 🩵
Pale blue translucent slug caterpillar like glass, lined with hair tubercules. Munching an oak leaf Top view of the creature munching is leaf. It's wide and flat and floofy Close shot of some of the tubercules and the hairs which line each one

A photo of a golden brown nugget of a moth from the side. It's body is covered in golden brown fur-like scales speckled with white. It's dark eyes are just visible, its segmented antennae arching just above them. The legs are covered in tufts of scales similar in color to the ones that cover the body. The wings are similarly colored with a faint ring of darker brown visible towards the rear, and a black spot on the scales which fringe the trailing edge. The moth's overall appearance is not unlike a tater tot. A photo of the moth from above. The moth's forelegs are spread to the sides at a slight angle, the tufts of scales very evident in this view. The wings are held closely the over all appearance quite like a slightly droopy letter "T"

Munchipede update: she's getting big, one oak leaf at a time 💚

I spend so much time at my home away from home that I get to watch my children grow. She's just munching her way through the leaf in a neater fashion than I can do cutting a pizza

(Isla textula, the crowned slug moth)
Large flat green slug caterpillar lined with spiny tubercules and 2 little red horns on her head, halfway through an oak leaf The view from under the leaf, the creature's mouth beneath the 2 little horns methodically turning Leaf into Caterpillar
