It looks like an exceptional year for these creatures as they seem to be everywhere, particularly on wild plum trees, but also on poplar and willow.

Good detail. Time again for these cherry tree leaf chompers. Vote.

Do those make you itch if you come in contact with them like ours do ? Fine hairy details, Christine

Great details and I like the way it curves and that you can see the portion of leaf it has eaten. "V"

Excellent details and a nice curve. Te left part of the leaf seems to be eaten away too. V
