Virginian Tiger Moth caterpillar

Your caterpillar is a Virginian Tiger Moth caterpillar - also called the yellow woolly bear . These caterpillars come in various colors as you can see at this website, which also includes pics of the moth -

These are found throughout most of North America. The caterpillars feed on many low growing plants like docks, thistles, plantains and dandelions, as well as shrubs and trees. In my garden I have seen them on lambsquarters, pigweed, green beans besides other plants and weeds.
Winter is spent as a pupa in a cocoon.
