  Gordon Hart writes:  Anne-Marie found a small slug eating holes in the sour cherry leaves. I have attached a picture since we were wondering if it was a species of small slug, or is just a smaller stage of a large slug? It reminds me of a leech.  Jeremy Tatum replies:  Not a slug! Not a leech!  It is amazing, but this is the larva of a sawfly<\/strong>!   I think we can just make out Anne-Marie in the reflection!<\/span><\/p>\n
