Red headed pine sawfly? - Neodiprion sertifer
Nassau, Rensselaer County, New York, USA
June 5, 2011
Found de-nuding a branch of a red pine, I think. Note how they feed in pairs/trios and work their way to the stem. They also distort their body shape when you disturb them

I know, right? I can't take
I know, right? I can't take credit, my friend Bill took it. He's a natural. This was one of his first insect shots.
