This one was happily munching my Black Currant bush.

There were half a dozen of these ... anyone recognise it ?

    It's a sawfly of some sort.

    Maybe I'll send this to David Manning to forward on to the "Fly man" from the leafminers site.

    I got lucky, found an image on the net.
    It's Gooseberry Sawfly, Nematus ribesii.
    Thanks for steering me in the right direction Skev, I could have spent hours looking at micro larvae !
