Swallowtail butterfly caterpillar. The “eye dots” are to keep birds away.
The walnuts are interesting. I literally have thousands of them this year. The ground is covered in places. No one wants them here except the squirrels. They are a lot of work to sort, husk and pick from the shells.

Do the walnut companies not buy them? Around here that's a thing in the fall, the walnut companies set up hulling stations and you can bring in your walnuts to sell them. When I was a kid, I used to make a small fortune every year off the walnuts. (Of course, to me in those days, anything over ten bucks was a fortune.)
