9 out of 10 chance that it's a Noctuid due to the presence of secondary setae. Probably subfamily Arctinnae (yes it's a subfamily now...!). Best way to figure it out for sure would be to rear it to adulthood.

IDing Lep larvae is all done via chaetotaxy and looking at the prolegs and crochets....unknowns almost always require a microscope.

Thank you very much :)

I just found this picture in my photo bucket from this summer, and I thought maybe somebody could recognizes it.

Thanks for the details lucanidae, also Alkaline Trio is awesome.
