These are young and seem to be hibernating rather that eating in this cold weather. I suspect the leaf skeletonizer moth (caterpillar) but not certain enough to post as an ID suggestion. Uraba lugens
http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/114... They retain the head section of their shell at each molt and collect this tall 'crown'.
