Found in Larose Forest. Like many sawfly larvae, this one is rearing up and backward, a reaction to disturbance.

Very colorful! Is that just posturing? Despite looking nimble, he doesn't look tough enough to inflict any damage.

What an unusual shape and colorful little guy. I like the spikes on the end. I guess that is supposed to scare you. V.
