There was a leigon of these caterpillars decimating a bush in our garden last year. I haven't been able to identify them yet.

Nikon Coolpix 4300. Resized, cropped and border added in Photoshop.

**UPDATE** Daily Deviation 10th Jan 2004
Many thanks for all the comments and +Favs everyone :D

**UPDATE II* As pointed out by ~avancna (Thank you) These are indeed the larvae of the Rose Sawfly (Arge ochropus). I did some more research and found a picture similar to this and a long explanation :-) I should have made the connection between them and all the Rose Sawflies in our garden last year :D

They remind me of army worms. Do they make web nests in trees?

Anyways this is a very cool shot! They look like they are doing a dance! :D

Fear is the solitary emotion that breeds courage and reform.
Amazing detail....

I agree about the dancing thing. :) Like Disney's always been trying to show us.
I agree with crawdaddy... excellent detail.
