Gooseberry Sawfly larvae
Yesterday I found a number of larvae on a small bush and immediately suspected it to be Sawfly larvae but couldn't get it to match. This morning I came across a photo of an identical larva which was ID'd as Gooseberry Sawfly Nematus ribesii. The leaf appears to be identical to Gooseberry too. I'm armed with a box and a pair of secateurs this morning and will attempt to rear some.
