Orange highlights strongly suggest Eutrapela clemataria, but at 15mm or so difficult to be certain.

Thanks...

our first thought
would be Eutrapela clemataria (or Prochoerodes lineola). Let's see what others think.

Large Maple Spanworm (Prochoerodes lineola)
I'm thinking it is a Large Maple Spanworm (Prochoerodes lineola). My experience with Curve-toothed Geometer Moth (Eutrapela clemataria) seems like the caterpillars are stockier overall. As soon as I saw the photos of the Large Maple Spanworm (Prochoerodes lineola); I thought it was "spot on"... Thanks...
