Mystery Cherry Tree Pest

I have found these "worms" eating lacy holes in my first year Royal Lee and Minnie Royal cherry trees. Can anyone help me to identify. They are from 1/8th to over 1/2 inch long, dark and wet looking , like a slug, but move in an inch worm motion when disturbed.
I am in So Cal, and I have never seen these things on any other plants in my garden, and they are not on the plum or peach trees, just the two cherries. HMMM?
