This one was very chalky. I will keep looking. TX
I am still not sure on this one Doreen. You could try submitting it to BugGuide. I only found a couple that are completely pale:

I have a lot of unidentified Sawfly larvae in my spottings as well. ;-)
Forest Dragon. Here is the other one.
How sweet. Now I know what the home, larva and grown up looks like. It feels good. You are going to town today. I appreciate it.
This is a Sawfly larva, possibly from Family Tenthredinidae, Common Sawflies. There are a couple of species that produce this white, waxy coating that makes them look as this one does. Do you happen to know on what it was feeding?
