Mosquito larvae is a strong possibility.
Maybe a young chicken of the woods?

Thank you for posting this - so interesting!
It looks like an assassin bug.
Maybe a sphinx moth? Rustic sphinx caterpillars can look like yours. According to whatsthatbug.com, many caterpillars will turn pink, orange or brown just before they pupate.
It looks like a herring gull.
I believe it's a skipper (family Hesperiidae); I'm no use beyond that point. :)
Is it a dragonfly nymph?
