'Red bean' #galls of #sawfly Euura proxima on leaves of crack willow (Salix fragilis) at Ditchingham, Norfolk, England. Larvae feed on leaf tissue in safety of galls during summer, before pupating in soil when leaves fall in autumn. Adults emerge in spring only to mate and lay eggs in fresh leaves.
