Euura ribesii
Imported Currantworm
Euura ribesii is a sawfly species in the family Tenthredinidae, commonly known as the Imported Currantworm. It is a significant pest of currant and gooseberry plants (Ribes species), with larvae that feed gregariously on foliage. The species has been introduced to North America from Europe and is now established in multiple regions. Adults are small, wasp-like insects that lack the narrow waist characteristic of many other Hymenoptera.
