A late stage larvae of Pseudoperga species is one of the possibles. But may also be Pergagrapta larvae. Unfortunately we can't usually identify the larvae to species level and in most cases even to a genus, without rearing through to adults. More research is needed in this area. There is about 60 species in subfamily Perginae and no definitive and detailed study of early life stages.
