Caliroa lunata
Caliroa lunata is a species of sawfly in the family Tenthredinidae, distributed in eastern Canada including Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Ontario. The genus Caliroa includes larvae commonly known as 'oak-skeletonizing sawflies' due to their feeding habit of consuming leaf tissue between veins. As with other members of this genus, the larvae likely feed on oak (Quercus) and related host plants, though specific host records for this species are not well documented.

It is distinguished by its pastel purple and yellow wing patterning and notably long antennae. The species is moderately polyphagous on deciduous trees, particularly favoring Fagaceae.
