Heart on the Outside - _TNY_0129
Another one from the weird paint job dept. Here's a red-backed alder sawfly (Eriocampa ovata), a prety small species whose larvae (not surprisingly given its name) feed on various species of alder.
No idea what the story behind the red spot is, but it sure made it stick out on a leaf in Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park. Also, that pitting on the head and thorax came out pretty neat in this shot.
