In June I found this twig-mimic caterpillar in the yard. I don't know which species.

I don't know the species, either, but the posture and the absence of prolegs identify the caterpillar as a member of Geometridae.

I had also gotten as far as Geometridae but not any further.

Some species of Pero look like that. This isn't to say that species of other genera don't! You may be able to get an ID at BugGuide (external link).
