Sawfly - Macremphytus
Copyright © 2007 Jim McClarin

Sawfly - Macremphytus
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
April 1, 2007
Size: about 15 mm
I found this one crawling around inside the rearing container two types of larvae were in. With help of Boris I now think it was this larva that was the juvenile of this sawfly.

Um, no they're not:-)
These are sawflies, yes, but not horntails. First, awfully small to be horntails (though there are a few species that don't get that large); and second, even if these were males, they would exhibit flattened hind legs, an even more uniform cylindrical appearance, and at least 'some' hint of a terminal spur on the abdomen. I would vote for Tenthredinidae as the family.

Ha ha
I suppose it was not my best guess. Thanks for steering me right, Eric.
