Sawfly Larvae

Some Sawfly Larvae - I think Alder sawfly - not overly sure.

Leap of faith.

Thanks - yes the caterpillars - are the sawfly larvae. Although they aren't actually caterpillars in the strictest term ( too many back legs apparently ). Had me fooled about that mind.

The larvae were about 2-3cm long. If I remember correctly.
