Nope
It's a wasp, in the section Symphyta!
Something in the family Argidae I guess.
Greetings

Yes!
Yes, this is a male argid sawfly! The "U-"shaped thing is actually one, split, terminal antennal segment. Very nice image of this guy.

Submission page
You just check the boxes at the bottom of the submission page. I suspect that most beginners don't know this and that is why most don't do it.
