Sawfly larva, Hemitaxonus - Strongylogaster
Almonte, Lanark, Ontario, Canada
June 10, 2017
It has a very distinct head pattern, yet I could not figure this one out; it's neither in Wagner nor on this site (unless it's a sawfly???). The nearest I came up with is Euphyes, but does not quite match. Perhaps Wagner misses some species.

I'd consider this a tentative placement...
...since T. albidopicta larvae feed on ferns according to Dave Smith.

Perhaps Hemitaxonus albidopictus?
I found the following description of "Taxonus albidopictus" larva in Dyar 1897:

"Head shining pale brownish, a large triangular black patch on the vertex connects with a like one on the clypeus; another patch at its apex on the black eye reaching back to the occiput; these three patches have diffuse edges and the vertical and lateral ones are connected by a dark cloud;"

It is fitting with the head pattern in the photographs.
