Here's another note based on sorting
unidentified sawfly larvae in the BG gallery by host plant, this time Viburnum
Viburnum and Elderberry (
Sambucus), both traditionally placed in the Honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae). Four postings:
Black Haw (Viburnum prunifolium), New York.
Squashberry (Viburnum edule), Alaska.
Probably
Elderberry (Sambucus), New Hampshire and Ohio.
Texas.
Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra = S. canadensis) is the only native
Sambucus species in Texas.
As with my previous notes for other species
(listing in "See Also" section), I am providing these sorted images in hopes that Dr. Dave Smith or other experts will find them useful, possibly leading to identifications.
