Definitely a sawfly
I would guess family Tenthredinidae, but I don't know the families well. This is most definitely some sort of sawfly though.

Not an ID
but I wonder if this could be a common sawfly of some sort?? I've been fooled by some of the bees before, though... Dr. Ascher will help you out, I hope.
