Sawfly larva

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Barry photographed this beautiful littel sawfly larva. It may be in the genus Pseudosiobla, but it is difficult to say for sure. I have photographed these larvae in the past at both FWG and elsewhere and have never been able to satisfactorily ID them. Dogwood sawfly larvae can look similar to this as early instars, so can other species of sawfly.

Stands our well, surprised a bird has not tried to eat it!

The larva seems to be very hungry indeed! Beautiful, sharp, well composed shot. V!
