Sur une feuille de Alnus sp.
On Alnus sp. leaf.
This is a picture of a Sawfly on a Virginia Pine at the Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
This is a picture of a sawfly on a blackberry leaf at Ward Farm Park in Dunkirk, Maryland.
Any ideas everyone? A species of sawfly?
HUGE thanks to the friend I was hiking with that actually spotted and found this, good eyes! Last photo in the set is her photo, which shows a bit better of a view of the host plant.
Didn't realize how infrequently observed this was or I would have grabbed better pics lol. Added the uncropped versions too. My camera was unfortunately overheating at the time so we have a little purple discoloration on its face.
