@bayucca - This spotting are from the same tree as this sawfly larvae are eating.. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/12798537
didn't know that there so many different sawfly species.
No problem! They have almost the same alphabet...
No, Sergio, it was Russian!
Yeah, maybe it's that.... Sorry the host plant I have no idea what is, the orange berry on the picture are now red.
Looks similar but definitely not this one, maybe same genus or family: Tenthredo scrophulariae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenthredinidae
Actually, looking closer, it is a Sawfly larva. The single black eye near the head suggests sawfly, when caterpillars usually have six eyes, three on each side.
I apologize you may have to switch the topic! I think this might be sawfly larva?? What about the host plant? Any ideas about it?
How could you guess that when it's a caterpillar spotting???
Dominik, you can't complain, you posted a message in greek!!!
Are you discussing about a caterpillar??

Denne mangler de hårene på kroppen og de gule prikkene på ryggen som diloba caeruleocephala har
