Hi Cheryl, thanks for voting for my photo! Much appreciated :D
There shouldn't be any more of mine being chosen now as I only entered in two sections :)
Wonderful shot! I love the markings! Thanks for the pick! I look forward to scrolling thru your garden. Carol
I shall be voting for you after I have written this comment Liz. I particularly like the Sawfly Larvae. Am I right in thinking you had difficulty identifying it originally? I remember being extremely impressed with it when you first posted it and I seem to remember I tried to ID it with no success.
Hi Carol,
Thank you so much for visiting my blog, it's much appreciated :)
Hi Jan,
Thank you very much for voting for me :)
Yep indeed I did have difficulty identifying the caterpillar/larvae, someone on a forum mentioned it looked like a Sawfly on a website she had... I have to agree that it did look like it - was of the opinion that Sawfly have different back legs to that of Caterpillars, but obviously I was wrong! I also couldn't find any indication of the specific Sawfly being in the UK - most websites were US based. But as I've never found anything else as close, I'll go with it being a Sawfly :)
(Sorry, I forget which type of Sawfly it is now)
Love the sawfly larvae! What a great shot. He would certainly be welcome in my garden.
-will vote for that one for sure!
Oh, that "face" on the first picture! Great!
