    Description

    Neodiprion pinetum is a species of sawfly in the family Diprionidae. It is commonly known as the white pine sawfly, a name sometimes also applied to Diprion similis, because the larvae of both species feed on the needles of the white pine (Pinus strobus). The adult N. pinetum is a broad-bodied insect with membranous wings. Females have a saw-like ovipositor 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
