Notes:

I was told in a separate forum that this is not Lepidoptera.... but had some help on bug guide and looks very much like an immature river birch dagger moth caterpillar last time I saw one like this: https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/13... This had the best pics for the young caterpillars: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.ed...
