This is a larva of a sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae; it might be in the genus Dimorphopteryx. Sawfly larvae may be differentiated from caterpillars by having fleshy prolegs on all abdominal segments; caterpillars never have prolegs on their first two abdominal segments (immediately behind the six true legs).

Most interesting Flapdoodle! This is the second sawfly type now you’ve identified for me. Thank you.
