This has a face and the swollen early abdominal segments
that remind us of Episemasia cervinaria - Hodges#6714 which is apparently found on holly. Wonder if yours might be Episemasia solitaria?? Our info page says the host is Ilex opaca!
Can't find any images online but guessing this is it! We will move it there and try to confirm the ID
