What kind is it?
Dear What’s that bug,
My son found this caterpillar when we were camping lat week. The park nature guy did not know what kind of caterpillar it was can you help from the pictures attached? thanks in advance,
Effie on behalf of Joshua.

Hi Effie and Joshua,
This is not a caterpillar. It is the larva of a Cimbicid Sawfly in the genus Cimbex. Sawflies are non-stinging relatives of bees and wasps.
