More sawfly larvae? These were found in the same tree as http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/947... and http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/947... but were huddled together and didn't have tails.

Thanks for the ID. I loved your photo's Martin - so cute!
This is one of several species of sawfly larvae in the Pergidae family. The tailed one is a different species again. My spotting seem larger and maybe the next instar. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/885...

Moth caterpillars... They are called pest... in urban areas.
