Tenthredinidae
Nematinae, belongs in Cladiini. Possibly Trichiocampus viminalis but pattern does not quite fit.

Sawfly larvae
Thanks! Didn't realize it wasn't a caterpillar. Any idea what this one eats?

Thanks Peggy
Thank you Peggy for posting my picture....I have a lot of these by my house. I think it's either a Pine sawfly or Dusty Birch larvae, but I can't tell for sure. These seem much brighter in color than the ones I have seen in other pics.
