RFI: moth/butterfly larvae

[<>]

Hi Chris,

The second one is indeed in the Lasiocampidae and seems to match the genus 
Pinara - see also http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhobern/5305080958/.

Best wishes,

Donald

HI Chris,
The first and third unknown are Saw Fly larvae. No. 1 looks like Steel Blue 
Saw Fly. See e.g.

The second one is a caterpillar of the family Lasiocampidae
