Life Cycle of Tenthredo campestris
Egg The egg of tenthredo campestris is typically oval and minute, deposited on host plants. At this stage, there’s no movement and growth occurs as the embryo develops inside.
Larva Larvae resemble caterpillars; they are elongated with a distinct head and chewing mouthparts. Caterpillar-like tenthredo campestris eat leaves voraciously, growing and molting several times.
Pupal The pupa is a non-feeding, transitional phase. Encased within a cocoon, tenthredo campestris undergoes significant transformation, with tissues rearranging into adult structures.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult tenthredo campestris has a defined thorax with clear wings and functioning reproductive organs, focusing on mating and then laying eggs.

How and Where Can You Find Tenthredo campestris at Different Life Stages
Larva Larvae of tenthredo campestris are leaf eaters and can often be found on the plants they feed on. Look for them by inspecting the leaves for signs of feeding, such as holes or jagged edges.
Pupal Pupal tenthredo campestris are typically immobile and may be attached to plants or buried in the soil. Carefully examine the soil around host plants or search the underside of leaves and branches.
Adult Adult tenthredo campestris are flying insects and can be observed visiting flowers or plants they favor. Search for them in sunny, flower-rich areas and observe patiently for their activity.

Garden and Landscape Pest

Larvae of tenthredo campestris can inflict mild to severe damage by chewing leaves and stems, primarily impacting roses, lawn grasses, and hedges. Light infestations may cause aesthetic damage, while heavy populations can lead to significant foliage loss, weakening plants and potentially impacting human enjoyment of gardens and landscapes.

Rectangle
Agricultural Pests

The larvae of tenthredo campestris chew on the leaves of various host plants, potentially leading to defoliation. In severe infestations, plants can suffer significant growth setbacks or even death. While a small number of larvae may only cause cosmetic damage, a large population can critically impact crop yields, thereby affecting food supplies and economic returns.

Butternut Woollyworm
Butternut Woollyworm

The impressively adaptive butternut Woollyworm is renowned for its extraordinary metamorphosis process. As a leaf miner in its early larval stage, it significantly controls the population of certain tree species by harvesting their leaves. As the larvae mature, they acquire a different role, acting as a defense controller by discouraging potential predators through the release of an unpleasant odor. Displaying diversity of function in their lifespan, butternut Woollyworm embarks on a journey impacting both flora and fauna in its environment, contributing uniquely to ecosystem dynamics.
