Yesterday in Kanawha State Forest we came across a large (about the size of my little finger), smooth, bright green caterpillar. When we got home I looked in 'Field Guide to the Insects' for it. Nope - no pictures of caterpillars.
So I tried on the web, and found the Discover Life Caterpillar page, where I determined that our caterpillar was the larva of either an Oval Base Prominent or White Dot Prominent moth. The Caterpillar page allows you to check off characteristics (main body color, main pattern, hair, etc.) to narrow your search.
Go - find a caterpillar, check the web site.
