Macremphytus testaceus? - Macremphytus testaceus
Lidke Mill IA, Howard County, Iowa, USA
June 22, 2019
Size: ~10 mm
The coloration of this common sawfly looks identical to examples of M. testaceus that I saw in the BugGuide pages, but I know how tricky these sawflies can be to ID. I hope the photos can determine what this common sawfly really is.

Yes, looks like it!
Macremphytus testaceus has the hind femur reddish basally and the tegula white, so this is a match.

Macremphytus testaceus
Thanks for taking a look at this common sawfly and confirming my suspicion, Spencer! That's a new sawfly species for me!
