Larva

Larva
Byron Center, Kent County, Michigan, USA
November 28, 2016
Size: ~ 5 mm
I found this on a large music book I brought home from church. From the picture, you can see that the binding was "eaten" away. I don't know if this creature caused the damage to the book or not. I haven't got a clue as to what this is. It was fairly active but not very fast in its movement.

It's built like a Gypsy moth

Suppose it could also be an early instar Tussuck moth, Orgyia
