having searched a bit I think the ones on the Sunflower might be some kind of Sawfly but I'd welcome more informed judgements!  |

Not sure they're sawfly larvae because they look like they have the right number of prolegs to be a true caterpillar. Sawfly larvae have more prolegs and lift their bottoms in the air when disturbed
Sadly I don't have a clue what kind they are though as they look quite young. I hope an expert can help! |
