    Default Common Sawfly (family Tenthredinidae)

    I have been unable to confirm the exact name - it's very, very similar to Tenthredo scrophulariae, but there's a variation with the banding that makes me think it's different. I've given up

    Can't find it in my general insect book, smart looking fly though.

    Thanks Beryl, but I have accessed a number of online guides - just couldn't find one insect exactly the same, although Tenthredo scrophulariae is almost identical - just one ring and a couple of yellow patches short.

    I think that this sawfly may appear in different striped versions.

    Try the
    Ctenophora ornata Kammschnake by =webcruiser on deviantART

    Or I think this is it
    Figwort Sawfly (Tenthredo scrophulariae)
