It's a second or third instar caterpillar of Fox Moth, Macrothylacia rubi (Linnaeus, 1758); these are the plants that you can find as food plants for this species on my web site, but the list would have to be much longer: Gramineae, Betula, Salix, Populus, Vicia, Rubus, Trifolium, Vaccinium, Geranium...
