Green insects on gooseberry plants I have green insects that eat the leaves of my gooseberry plants: . 3. They have been present since mid-May, and I expect that they'll be present until mid-June, based on past experience. 4. They do not have spots. **What is the name of this insect?**

The species name of this insect is the gooseberry saw fly. There are three related species, I think this is the **pale spotted gooseberry sawfly** because it has a pale green head. They usually have black dots as well, but this might develop when the larvae grow. At least, this is what I observed once in my garden.
