Horntails, Wood Wasps and SawfliesWhat’s this caterpillar?
Can anyone identify these caterpillars for me? Two different colourations of the same caterpillar. Found in southeastern Manitoba, Canada.

Dear Mysterious Writer with bilingual tax information,
We currently have an image of a Cimbex Sawfly Larva on our homepage, and in the past we have received images of both chartreuse and salmon colored individuals, but your photo is the first time both color variations were present in the same photograph. Though they look like caterpillars, they are actually in the order of insects that contains wasps, bees and ants.
