I think it's a larva [caterpillar] of the Swallow-Tail Butterfly [don't know exact Species] they look like that so that birds will think they are just poop [yuck who wants to eat that!] and then they leave them alone.
I saw a bunch of Swallow-Tail Butterflies this year, very large butterflies!

I think there's a few caterpillars with spots on them that look like eyes on big giant heads to trick their enemies. I'm pretty sure the actual head is much smaller and harder to see.
