Nice find! This is a Sawfly larva. Sawflies are a type of wasp. Their larvae resemble caterpillars but have some slight differences. Here is a link that might help. It can be quite difficult to identify species of these guys by the larvae. There are a few that are distinctive but many that are not yet identified with their adult forms. http://bugguide.net/node/view/112
