Looks like Tethida barda but T. barda feeds on ash.

Ash vs. boxelder

The two have somewhat similar leaves (and another name for boxelder is "ash-leaved maple")... If there are photos that show a whole leaf--or even what the galls looked like--that would help to confirm the plant ID.

Acer is not tasty

for sawflies larvae, as far as I know :) only a couple of species are known on Acer, but they definitely look different.
Let's imagine that we don't know the plant at all.
This larva belongs to Tenthredinidae -> Blennocampinae.
If this were a monochrome photograph, then larvae with a similar appearance should be looked for in several genera: Monophadnus, Stethomostus, Tomostethus, Tethida. But this specimen has a very distinctive coloration that matches Tethida barda.
It doesn't make sense to leave this in the undefined section.

However, if there are any objections, I am always ready to return it back.

Moved from ID Request.
Not related to the galls, but it's good that you noted the host plant.
