orange-legged wasp
Fish Lake, southern lakes, Yukon Territory, Canada
June 21, 2017
I thought this might be a Pimpla species but I couldn't find any whose hind tibia was half-orange (proximally) and half-black (distally), so I don't know what it might be.

Do you remember...
The plant it was on? Black locust by any chance?
I just noticed your sawfly looks similar to my find...

Thanks, but it was herbaceous.
I think it was on tufted loosestrife (Lysimachia thyrsiflora) in an extensive marshy area beside a lake. Black locust doesn't reach the Yukon.

Thanks, Ken.
Looks closest to a Tenthredo species but not exactly like any currently in the Guide. I'll keep looking.
The added shot shows a white spot on its neck that's hidden in this pic.
