Yep. I am in Houston and I had a couple as well. I sacrificed a plant to watch it devour it and thought it would cocoon on a stem, but be aware they dig underground to cocoon and disappear. The young ones are black but smaller, the adults turn green as in your pic. I have not had further issues with them as you can simply remove the few you see by hand.
