Pine sawfly, 12:24pm - Acantholyda erythrocephala -

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Alot larger than dolerus. Before I got the I.D. on them I thought they were different species;
The male has a yellow face and black body and wings while the female has the whole head red and a metallic bluish sheen to the wings.
