Bad picture quality I know... but the plant has a leaf on opposite ends as it grows.

Like a epipactis hellborrine orchid

Is it possible to get clearer pictures? I can't see the caterpillar.

Sorry, solved, forgot to change this, I posted it on the other I'd forum


Solomon's sewl, sawfly

The plant was ID'd as false solomon's seal, not solomon's seal. Where was the critter ID'd as a sawfly?

It's a small caterpillar on the fruit, well there is like 6 of them.

I meant on what Forum was it ID'd as a sawfly (a sawfly larva is not a caterpillar). Sorry, that was an ambiguous question, I knew what I meant I ask because the critter in your picture looks more like a caterpillar than a sawfly to me and the characteristics that distinguish between the two are not visible in the picture. So presumably someone recognized it, or you were able to ID it?

Haha, Sooby, the ironic part of this is....

You..

Identified it. Go under plant I'd page, same post I made here, haha.

This thread from the Plant ID Forum? I ID'd the plant, did not ID sawfly

The thread "what plant, and or caterpillars?" in Plant ID forum

Ok, then I give up haha, but they are solomon's sawfly,100%

It would not be Solomon's seal sawfly, but presumably is false Solomon's seal sawfly, this one:
