Agree with you on that! The hood of the moth is interesting but looks like some old brown moth, unlike the caterpillar.

THANK YOU

Your caterpillar is the Brown hooded owlet moth caterpillar.
These are found in North America east of the Rockies.
The caterpillar feeds on foliage and flowers of asters and goldenrod. The adult moth flight pikes in July and August.

Here are photos of the caterpillar and moth - http://bugguide.net/node/view/6725/bgimage
