Nematus ventralis Say

A willow sawfly. I've been collecting in Great Falls Park quite a bit the last several years. Where in the park did you find these?

willow sawfly

It's been 2 years so I can't recall the exact location, but it would have been either at the end of the parking lot just past the big trash cans on the left, or about a quarter of a mile up the path where it opens to the river on the right. I do a lot of photography at that spot and in the little swampy area on the left.

Reminds us of

the sawfly larvae in the guide under Nematus - Willow Sawflies, here, and it certainly looks like it could be a willow too!

Thanks

Certainly looks like the others.
