Black-headed ash sawfly larvae
Tethida barda
32.6116, -84.8694
Field Notes
Description:
Probably recently hatched caterpillars. I haven't been able to ID the host tree but it's been known to host Eastern Swallowtail Caterpillars in the past. These were about a centimeter in length with black heads, green body with black "spikes"
Last photo is from April 28. I was unable to track these caterpillars further because I think they got picked off as a meal for someone else.
Habitat:
West central GA unidentified host tree
Notes:
Forgot I posted this progression and reposted the last picture (ref link is most recent project noah submission with ID)
