Hello Doreen,
The caterpillar may be that of the Cecropia Moth, which likes to make itself 
home on apple trees, and a host of other trees as well. It makes a large 
brown cocoon on the tree limbs. As far as the moth, the wings are a speckled 
gray-brown and the body is a dull red-orange with a white collar on it's 
abdomen. All this according to the National Audubon Society Field guide Book. 
hope this helps.
