Sawfly ID - Pristiphora rufipes
Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Size: 12mm
These sawfly larvae devastated my columbine leaves.
I took them indoors and they pupated and eclosed.
Only know it is a sawfly, but can't pinpoint the
exact ID.

The larvae were found on 6th Sept, 2003.
2 pupated on 8th Sept, 2003.
First one eclosed on 24 Sept, 2003.

I'm not saying that's what you've got, but it would appear to be a possibility. Dr. Smith will be able to say for sure.
