With grateful thanks to Andy Musgrove I have been able to put a name to 2 sawfly species that I photographed while out and about last weekend.
The first was quite a distinctive one with red hind femurs netted at Winks Meadow which has turned out to be Periclista pubescens which is an oak specialist.
The second was a small, all black one that was photographed on a laurel just outside the front door of Tacolneston Hall. This was Iris Sawfly, Rhadinoceraea micans which rather unsurprisingly is linked to irises (of which there were plenty in the hall moat).
