Sawflie larvae pristiphora conjugata.
Sawfly larvae, resemble caterpillars but are distinguished by their unique features: They have fewer prolegs and no crochets. Photographing these larvae as well as caterpillars is a breeze; they move slowly, allowing for easy capture. Their vibrant green bodies, contrasted with the orange head, make them an interesting subject. While adult sawflies have short lifespans, lasting only 7–9 days, the larval stage can endure for months to years. Many species feature parthenogenetic females, capable of reproducing without mating. These fascinating creatures feed on pollen, nectar, and other insects, making them essential contributors to ecosystems.
