European Pine Sawfly Larva - Neodiprion sertifer

Gonna preface this by mentioning that my identification for this wriggly insect is based on a lot of scrutiny, examination and comparing it to other specimens on Bugguide. And yet, I’m still not certain. Let’s just go with it for now, and if I have to revise due to new findings (not unheard of for my Sawfly catalogue) I will do so. As the name suggests, this insect came to North America from a distant land, but has established itself among the forests. With long lines along the back and side of the body (white and black bordered with white respectively), a white patch behind the black head, 6 black legs and many white prolegs, this larva is conspicuous against the pine needles it explores. Like another Pine Sawfly with a Red Head, this specie also feeds on conifer plants, consuming their foliage and potentially causing problems for the trees it infests. These are reported to have potential to be serious forest pests if their numbers grow out of control. If pine trees get defoliated one can only imagine the damage they would do to pine bushes! Have the hose handy should you find wrigglers among your needles.

Though both this Sawfly and the Red-headed Pine Sawfly feed on conifer needles, they belong to different branches of the Sawfly tree. Interestingly, this specific Sawfly is a true pine Sawfly rather than a Webworm, belonging to the family: Diprionidae (Conifer Sawflies). Which ever member of Symphyta you find, remember this: Sawflies are not Caterpillars (specifically, they are Hymenopterans) so Caterpillar chemicals may not have the intended effect if found on your plants. Though there’s pest potential with these insects, they’re just going what they’re doing. It may be easy to hold them in negative light just looking at the larval form, but there’s great beauty to see in their colorful adult form. I have no adults pictures to share here, but if the research I’ve done is any indication, you’d be surprised. Like the Red-headed Pine Sawfly, the European Pine Sawfly males and females sport different colors: males black and females orange (and both with orange legs). Finally, members of Diprionidae have different types of antennae whether male or female and N. sertifer is no exception: the males have pectinate antennae (think feather-like) while the females have serrated antennae (like small teeth). Take a close look if you are able to find one, and if it’s orange try and find the saw-like ovipositor if you can.

Pictures were taken on June 10, 2017 at the Royal Botanical Gardens with a Samsung Galaxy S4.

Someone took this magnified photo of tiny Sawfly larva. I think they look adorably caffeinated.

such a girlie girl

#just finished watching a small clip where a bunch of sawfly larvae flicked their body in unison as someone approached them #as a way to shoo away the predator and they kind of looked like one of the barnacles from half life

I saw. SO MANY BUG today. (Sorry in advance for bad phone camera quality and shaky hands)

Male March fly!!! (Thanks to @microecobus for the ID!)

Baby sawfly!

Tiny assassin bug!

Flat bug (actually what they're called) and a zebra jumping spider!

Better look at the jumping spider!

Male California glowworm (species of firefly where only the babies and wingless females glow)!

Aphids!

Spittlebug (hiding in the foam on the leaf)!

And last but not least, a huge male snakefly (females have long ovipositors)!!!! So cool to find this one, I've only seen one in person once before in my life!

That's not counting the crane flies, honeybees, ants, little round orange mite, various flies, brown marmorated stink bug (of course), tiger butterfly, boxelder bugs, and tons of little parasitoid wasps I saw pollinating. An excellent bug day for Rev!
