Sawfly Larva, we believe
Dear Suhas,
There are not enough anatomical features visible in this photo for us to conclusively categorize this larva. We don’t believe it is a caterpillar or a beetle grub. We tend to favor it being a Sawfly Larva. Sawflies are related to bees and wasps, and many species have larvae that resemble caterpillars. Perhaps one of our readers will be able to assist in a species identification.
Dear Daniel
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. I will certainly gather more details from the photographer and send it to you soon.
regards
Suhas
