Common sawflies (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) look somewhat like wasps, but can be distinguished in part by their lack of thin waists. Adults visit flowers, but larvae feed on foliage. This particular species (Dolerus nitens) appears earlier in the spring than others. Palmyra Michigan, 31 Mar 2013.

De #Athalia_circularis is een bladwesp uit de familie Tenthredinidae. Het volwassen insect is klein, oranjerood met zwarte markeringen. De larven lijken op rupsen en voeden zich op bladeren van kruisbloemigen, waardoor ze schade in tuinen en landbouw kunnen veroorzaken.

De #Pachyprotasis_rapae is een bladwesp uit de familie Tenthredinidae. Ze legt eitjes in bladeren van kruisbloemigen, waaruit larven komen die op rupsen lijken. Deze larven voeden zich met bladgroen en kunnen zo aanzienlijke schade aan kool- en raapgewassen veroorzaken.

The wild carrot umbels in the garden are attracting a nice variety of insects at the moment; easy to photograph as well - if not waving around in the wind. A pair of Tenthredo amoena sawflies mating. See ALT texts for more details.

Tenthredo amoena (Tenthredinidae). Mating pair, female at front. Larvae feed on St. John's Wort (Hypericum sp.), adults often found on umbels like carrot, hogweed etc. Fairly common and widespread in southern Britain at least. 7/8/2024 Topsham, Devon. Tenthredo amoena (Tenthredinidae). Mating pair, female below, male above. 7/8/2024 Topsham, Devon. Tenthredo amoena (Tenthredinidae).

Tja, een bladwesp (familie Tenthredinidae) maar te weinig detail om verder te determineren ben ik bang.

Hier eine interessant gezeichnete eine Pflanzenwespe aus der Familie der Echten Blattwespen (Tenthredinidae). Mir ist kein deutscher Name bekannt, der lateinische Name lautet Macrophya duodecimpunctata. Es ist wohl ein weibliches Tier, die Männchen haben kein weißes Rückenschildchen
Eine Blattwespe mit schwarzem Körper, der weiße Flecken am Rückenschild und den Beinen aufweist, sitzt auf einem Blatt. An den Beinchen sieht man winzige Dornen, die angelegten Flügel sind durchsichtig und goldbraun gefärbt

Likely, though not certain; sawfly larva (order Hymenoptera, family Tenthredinidae). When at rest or when they feel threatened, these larvae have a characteristic habit of coiling into a tight, watch-spring spiral. 🌀 #nature #insects #biology #photo #ecology #wildlife

Oak Sawfly larvae (Tenthredinidae/Heterarthrinae sp?) 
# bugoftheday
Glossy green and yellow slug-like larvae, each about 4mm long, feed communally on the underside of an oak leaf. They have scraped each leaf cell leaving the upper membrane intact as a pale brown “window”. “Sawfly” is a very general term for insects with a saw-like ovipositor. Tenthredinidae narrows the choice down to about 400 species in the UK, these are probably in the Heterarthrus genus which covers 23 species, but identification of larvae is unreliable as they have fewer distinguishing features so tend not to be covered well in the literature.

A shiny, smooth, pale translucent caterpillar like larva with green gut contents, sits on a leaf surface, holding its front legs out like it's giving a hug. It has numerous false fleshy legs under its abdomen. Six shiny, smooth, pale translucent caterpillar like larvae with green gut contents, feeding on a leaf surface. They are skeletonizing the leaf, chewing small windows out from in between the leaf veins. The image is brightly backlit.
