J, if I know few about insects, I am absolutely ignorante about plants. But I know where those larvae are, and I'll try to discover. To you and MayraSpringmann, Phillip Torres, EnvUnlimited, DespinaTsafetopoulou and Martin, thank you.

Awesome spotting, Sergio! Do you know what plants they were feeding on?

Will he evolve into something new or just get eaten?
This is a terrific spotting Sergio. Larvae of hymenoptera are often called maggots but sawfly 'grubs' are free living and quite unique. I would call these rainbow worms :)
