A native Honeysuckle Clubhorn, also called Green Honeysuckle sawfly (Abia lonicerae) seen in #Brighton. There are only a resricted number of records for this #sawfly across England and Wales. #Wildlife #Biodiversity #Nature #brightonwildlife

03/09/2025 - Finally the rain stopped for the day so we headed out for an evening stroll to the bottle bank and shop. I stopped to look at the young birch trees growing by the side of the road. A very big green caterpillar caught my eye. What butterfly or moth is this going to be I thought. Turns out none as it's the larvae of a birch sawfly, Britain's largest sawfly. Nice find and a new bug for me. I like bugs.

Rose sawfly larvae, (Arge pagana I think). The one furthest left looks very happy 🙂

Figwort Sawfly (Tenthredo scrophulariae). This striking wasp-mimic sawfly is associated with members of the figwort family, upon which its larvae feed. I usually find it on Water Figwort around #Bath #Somerset #UK.

May I introduce myself? I'm Phymatocerra aterrima, the Solomon's seal #sawfly. My larvae are extreme gourmets: they can eat only leaves of #SolomonsSeal and #LilyOfTheValley. If you kill the habitats of these plants, we can't survive. Therefore, we love the #forests of #VosgesDuNord and our photographer's wild #garden.
It's #fairy: #Polygonatum multiflorum is the fairy tale's key 'Springwurz' that opens all doors - perhaps also the magic viper's cave under the elder tree? #NatureMatchCuts -

Extremely well-preserved #fossil #sawfly sheds new light on co-#evolution of #insects and toxic plants https://phys.org/news/2024-10-extremely-fossil-sawfly-evolution-insects.html paper by Juanita Rodriguez et al.: https://resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/syen.12653
"They eat the leaves of #Myrtaceae—woody #plants that include eucalypts—because they have mouthparts with which they can separate toxic oils or a chemical detoxification system inside their gut. This enables the #larvae, sometimes called spitfires, to use the oils as a defensive weapon."

Found a 1/4 inch drive socket that had a white grub hiding inside. Ejected it for a better look, plan on keeping the socket😉

This is a very unusual observation. It looks like a bruised apple with some fungal growth. Actually it is around the size of a hawthorn berry.
It is a gall, a directed plant misgrowth. Within it is the green larva of a species of sawfly - elusive as an adult.
Very easily overlooked, so not often reported.
The strange name of Euura pedunculi.

This view is quite dramatic. It is absolutely a Tenthredo sawfly but I am still waiting for confirmation that it is T. thompsoni. If I am right, this is a new arrival, slowly creeping up from the South coast. It isn't officially in my area yet but I see it quite often.
It is one of many insects which pretend to be wasps.

There are some very similar wasp-imitating sawflies but I am pretty confident that this is Tenthredo thompsoni. It is rarely recorded in England but a few have been seen to the South and East. If it is, it confirms its slow spread from the Southern coastline. Another spectacular find today.

Following previous post. These are Solomon's seal sawfly (Phymatocera aterrima) caterpillars. Normally there are hundreds that appear after the host plant has finished flowering and completely consume the host plant apart from the main stem. This picture, June 28th, when maximum number of 14 #caterpillars so the host plants are still surviving with many long slits in them. The fully fed larvae go into the soil to overwinter and pupate in the following spring #sawfly

A new to me Caterpillar found on a Buttonbush. Seems to be a Buttonbush Sawfly Larva (maybe Eriocampini Pseudosiobla).
