Sawfly Larva - Tenthredo grandis

These larvae feed on turtlehead (Chelone sp.).

Habitat: Found on low vegetation along the edge of a swamp. I was cutting through a swamp (it's a shortcut, albeit a very messy one) when I spotted this larva.

    I like how even if we give things silly names, they are still better than the formal names. Posted 4 years ago
