larva of Dendroleon
Hi,

this is the larva of Dendroleon obsoletus (Say, 1839).

I’m particularly interested in it… can you describe me more precisely the micro-environment where you found it and especially how you collected it?

Thanks!

mostly pines,very near Bouge Chitto National Wildlife Refuge if

An high resolution photo will be very useful to me (I’m studying them)! Thanks!!
Another question… the larva was concealed in the substratum or simply camouflaged?
