I found this on Physocarpus opulifolius 'Coppertina' (ninebark).

A younger one possibly? It was on the same shrub.

These are larvae of noctuid moths in the genus Acronicta; possibly the clear dagger moth, Acronicta clarescens - see http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/5230/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/bob_barber/2918963398/

It's looks like a match, especially with the flickr photo. Thanks, suunto!
