| | | Help identifying larvae please Can anyone help me to identify these larvae which I found yesterday on my wooden shed floor, underneath my tool box.
The larvae are in silken tunnels or tents which are between 5 and 10 cm long. These are not pupae/cocoons, the larvae are clearly moving around inside.
The larvae have brown heads. They also seem to be eating the wood - I removed a few of the tunnels, and the wood underneath had been gnawed away slightly.
I need to know what they are so that I know whether to remove them (if they're common pests that will damage the shed) or to leave them be (if they're uncommon or endangered).
Many thanks.  |

| | | Re: Help identifying larvae please Many thanks for your help. I'm sure that this is what they are. Seems I should protect the bees and remove the larvae! |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
