Black and White Larve??? - Anatis

Black and White Larve??? - Anatis
Eden Prairie, Hennepin County, Minnesota, USA
June 25, 2011
Size: approx 1/2 inch
This bug was crawling slowly across the carpet. It looks like a caterpillar with 6 legs! I am guessing it's some sort of leaf eating larve of some sort. It's posterior end sort of grabbed onto the ground, like a caterpillar might do. Sometimes it dragged it's posterior end, and sometimes it scrunched it up and stuck it to the ground while it crawled.

genus Anatiis, not sure which
In Minnesota it is either A. labiculata (15-spotted Lady Beetle) or A. mali (Eye-spotted Lady Beetle) but I can't tell them apart as larvae.
