I've started using using Google Lens for trying to identify some of these things. I plugged your picture into it and the first two results were different kinds of sawfly larvae. It's been pretty helpful. Anyone else tried it out?

Thought about Lens, but I did it the hard way. Googled ‘caterpillar white black stripe’, then switched results to images. I scrolled to the second page… there it was. I have taxonomic keys here (yep, books), but they’re easier to use with physical specimens rather than photographs. I’m going try working with Lens for a while. Especially if it’s more efficient. I’m not a total glutton for punishment.
I'd name him Henry. Looks like a Henry to me Nice shot.
