RE: Tenthredinidae - little yellow worm thing

[redheadpei]

You did well to spot the colorful little caterpillar, Johann or at least I think it is a caterpillar. Perhaps going to become a moth or butterfly.

The caterpillar of the Urbanus proteus ( long tailed skipper) looks a little like this one.

Awesome shots of the little yellow worm and it stand out nicely with the darker background.

Cute poem about a worm. So true how they can disappear into a clod of soil quickly.

Have a great morning Johann. :)

Seems you can't sleep 😉 ... maybe it's too hot during the day as you said and now you enjoy the cool morning before the heat comes 🙂

Thanks a lot that you like my new little friend. Unfortunately it fell down and I couldn't find it anymore - maybe by now it already flies around ;)

I have found many caterpillars and also larvae which looked similar, but the only ones which looked the same were only called "sawfly larvae" and no concrete name I could use. Thank you so much for searching too 👍🙂

I was searching for a somehow suitable poem and liked this one most :)

Thanks for the tip, Jo, I wish you a great, but hopefully not too hot day 🙂

You are right Johann. I woke and couldn’t go back to sleep so got up and made coffee and later some blueberry pancakes. I had coffee and pancake and was going to do a WednesdayWalk post from my Lady Slipper search but went back to bed and got a couple hours more sleep.💤

Sorry your little friend fell down. With that many legs you would think he could hang on. 🐛😀

It is nice this morning - 21 and climbing...

Have a wonderful day Johann.😊

Oh, I'm late tonight, but I have just come home from a long ride after work, and I am wet, because in the last 10 miles or so it rained, but after a hot Summer day it was a nice and warm Summer rain 😁

I have just seen your post and will have a look at it later. Actually I also wanted to make a WednesdayWalk post, but then I decided to get some fresh air under the helmet instead of sitting at the computer 😉

Thanks for rehiving the post of my little friend. Maybe he fell down on purpose, because he didn't want to be my photo model anymore ;)

I also wish you a nice afternoon and evening, Jo 🙂
