I spotted this clump of Pine Sawfly Larvae on one of my recently collected Scots Pines yesterday. I had planned to spray everything this weekend but this encouraged me to spray everything in the garden there and then.
I’m taking no chances from now on after losing the apex of one of my best trees due to an insect attack this year!
Yeah, they can do more damage than you might first think…

Hi Ray, thanks for commenting, just looked at your blog, that’s a great bit of ground for a garden. Plenty of room for those wee trees 🙂

Nasty little varmints. Good thing you saw them quickly.

Only reason I saw them was that when I hit the tree with the shower of water, they all raised their heads and started waving about! Very strange to see !!
