Answered this when the website was down so forgot to go back and reenter the info :-)

Your photo is of Abbott's sphinx moth caterpillar. The tail usually indicates it is in the Sphingidae family. Yours is in the middle stage of development because of the distinct coloration. Here are photos of the moth and other larval stages - http://bugguide.net/node/view/4592/bgimage These are found thru out eastern and central North America in woodland type areas.
Caterpillars feed on feed on grape, Vitis and Ampelopsis spp of plants. Moths feed on nectar.
