Second photo
This is much better. They are Nematinae and a species of Nematus. Can't figure out what species it is right now.

Tenthredinidae
It could be one of the willow sawflies, but I can't see the end of the abdomen and number of prolegs, both of which are important in placing this to subfamily.

Sawflies
If that's willow they're feeding on, then they might be one of the Willow Sawflies.
