    Description

    Neodiprion pinetum is a species(link is external) of sawfly(link is external) in the family(link is external) Diprionidae(link is external). It is commonly known as the white pine sawfly, a name sometimes also applied to Diprion similis(link is external), because the larvae of both species feed on the needles of the white pine(link is external) (Pinus strobus). The adult N. pinetum is a broad-bodied insect with membranous wings. Females have a saw-like ovipositor(link is external) at the tip of the abdomen and are larger than males. The larvae have black heads and are creamy-coloured or yellowish, with four longitudinal rows of black spots. Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodiprion_pinetum
