harrycatcat1 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Found these creatures eating my roses tonight, what are they? I have sprayed them with some Rose Clear stuff I found in the garage. Do I need to do more? Any advice welcome, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 According to the mrs, they look like sawfly larvae. Not sure what Rose Clear does so can't comment on treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konnie Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Not saying it works with catapillars but put fairy liquid in a solution and give it a go. A insecticide does not discriminate kills all insects good and bad, that's the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arm3000gt Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) I just cut off the leaves where the saw fly are and place on a bird table or where birds frequent in the garden. Doesn't take long and no need for sprays. Edited September 1, 2018 by arm3000gt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
