Rose Shoot Sawfly - Phylloecus trimaculatus - Female
100 Acre Wood, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
May 28, 2017
Meandering at night in an oak/maple woods I completely missed what was going on here.
I didn't recognize it as a sawfly nor that it was ovipositing.
And now it doesn't look long and narrow enough but I can't find anything else that fits.
