Moved from Pergidae.
Thanks Dave. Should these all still go to the species complex page?

Yes -
I guess I wasn't aware of the "species complex" page, but anything identified as A. dorsalis would go there. I'm sure there are several species going under the name "dorsalis", but the taxonomy hasn't been worked out. There are about 23 names available!

Not sure about common sawfly (2)
I'm not an expert by any means, but this doesn't look like a Common Sawfly (Tenthredinidae) to me. Instead, it looks like a Pergid. For my reasoning, see my comment at .
