Interesting looking caterpillars. They are kind of pretty, but not in the rose bushes.

They hatch into Saw Flies and eat the leaves.

Eat them they will!! But, they are beautiful in their own way and certainly turn into one of the most beautiful creatures on earth. Just wish they could satisfy their appetite with "weeds" ! Mickie :)
