This proved to be surprisingly difficult (at least for me ;->) to  
identify, since the colour patterning was more pronounced in this  
individual than it is in most of our specimens. It is Lambdina  
fiscellaria (Gn.):

http://bugguide.net/node/view/6264

A common and widely distributed species throughout much of Nova  
Scotia. Larvae feed on spruce, fir and hemlock.

Cheers!

Chris
