Sawfly

DateTue 2010-04-13

A small black sawfly, probably a Tenthredinid Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae).  It looks similar to some species of Dolerus but I don't feel confident in picking out which species.  [Note added 2010-11-08: The head looks too shiny for Dolerus, which are quite furry about the head.  It is most likely some other genus.]

Photos taken in the Wilderness, Whiteknights Park, Reading University grounds, Reading, UK, on 2010-04-11.
