Sérgio, are we OK now with emails? Did you receive my "positively no problem" dated October 31?

Great find Sergio! It's well camouflaged and the horns are interesting.

Laura, it was very large for a saw fly larva. I think it is a butterfly caterpillar, and it was starting to pupate.

It kind of looks like some kind of fly larva. Did you notice if there was a round head capsule or prolegs?
