INCREDIBLE! Sawfly larva has
INCREDIBLE! Sawfly larva has just hit an all-time high for me at their varity of...looks! I had recently found what looked like a large white 'caterpillar' with a neon blue stripe down it's back and small neon dot on the side....found out it was actuall a sawfly also!
Although not a fan of this family of insect? They are definately an interesting looking group.
