I Saw a Sawfly

Sawflies are related to bees and wasps but do not sting. Larvae resemble caterpillars or slugs. This is a pine sawfly.

Such a cute bug with a nice green backdrop makes it a great banner.

I'm really not a fan of the defoliating larvae --but great shot and it does make a cute banner!

Your saw fly does not bug me. Love it, so well photographed and cropped.

to all of you! Certainly some stages of an insect's life can be more photogenic than others. Immature pine sawflies are grayish-green striped worms that feed in colonies on the pine needles. Wouldn't make it past the banner selection committee!
