Sawfly larva (Caliroa obsoleta)

Burnt Lands Provincial Park

An almost translucent sawfly which skeletonizes leaves, mostly of oak trees, as here. As an adult it will look like a dark wasp, but is incapable of stinging.

Fascinating looking with that translucency, and looks to be a voracious eater. V.
