Sawfly Larvae - Macremphytus sp.
The dorsal side was shiny indigo, and their ventral side was yellow-orange. Some of the larvae were crawling around, while others were curled up, and one had turned white and was curled up on the underside of a leaf. Sawflies get their common name from the saw-like appearance of their ovipositor, which females use to cut slits in stems and leaves in order to lay their eggs.
