Keywords: caterpillar butterfly moth willow unknown help

Can you help ID this caterpillar? In its last instar, it was about an inch long, with two anal "horns" that reacted when you annoyed it. Found on a willow. We brought it into an enclosure to view its pupae but it either escaped or??? Any ideas what it might be??
