Sawfly on the window - Ametastegia pallipes Northfield, Franklin County, Massachusetts, USA March 28, 2014 Size: 7.5 mm
Found this in my kitchen just now. I'm guessing it emerged from one of the potted plants next to the window (they were dug in the fall and kept in a shed until a few weeks ago, so a larva feeding on foliage could have burrowed into the soil and overwintered there), but it's conceivable that it chewed its way out of a rearing bag, depending on what it is.
