Alder sawfly - Eriocampa ovata
Pack Forest near Eatonville, Pierce County, Washington, USA
July 11, 2009
Rick and Libby found this cluster of sawfly larvae on a young alder on the road to the falls. We're hoping they'll have better images when they get around to posting but we wanted to get this up until then.

Eriocampa ovata (L.)
Tenthredinidae, Allantinae. With the flaky white bloom and feeding on alder, it has to be E. ovata.
