Glob - Prolimacodes badia

Glob - Prolimacodes badia
Allegan County, Michigan, USA
August 30, 2018
Size: Thumbnail size.
Was in a pile of wet leaves. Has little spiracles on the side to breath through. Crawled out of the bucket I had it in. Legs are like little pegs only visible from underside. Never saw anything like this before in my 61 years. Very odd.

Dorsal View?
Do you have a dorsal view?

It looks very similar to a Skiff Moth, Prolimacodes badia.

Slug Caterpillar?
I couldn't find an exact match in BugGuide but might be larva of a moth in the Limacodidae
