Sawfly grubs, sometimes called ‘spitfires’, are common throughout Australia. The name ‘spitfire’ comes from their repulsive defence tactic of rearing up and vomiting thick yellow fluid to drive away predators. Larvae of eucalypt sawflies gather in large groups during the day as a defence. When they spread out at night to feed they tap on the branches with their abdomens to let the rest of the group know where they are so they can re-form their protective cluster before daylight.
