It looks like a Pea Pod Caterpillar—I just made that up because that IS what he looks like to me…..I LOVE the way he raises his arms every few seconds–like he was singing a Gospel Hymn…!
When you find out what he is–PLEASE do let us know, my dear!

I googled “pea pod caterpillar” and got a lot of cartoon images. Then I searched red head caterpillar and look at the 5th photo! http://www.richard-seaman.com/Arthropods/Usa/Caterpillars/NorthernIllinois/index.html

This is riot??!! Is he carrying peas? Or is it part of his body? Was he found at your house?

I just checked out the site…..It is a moth??
I thought for sure it was going to grow up to be a butterfly. You have so many beautiful butterflies in your garden in the spring. xo

EEEK one day it will be flying! Probably has gorgeous wings but it surely is odd in appearance as a creeping caterpillar.

It’s the fifth picture down on that site: The white-marked tussock moth caterpillar is one of the best looking in the tussock moth family, the red head, yellow stripes, white tufts and prominent tail all add to its appearance, and the two bright red glands on its back are striking too, like little red lights.
