Sawfly

DateTue 2011-01-11

From back last spring: a Tenthredinid sawfly, probably a female Tenthredo maculata (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae).

I say it is probably a female because in male T. maculata the yellow abdominal  band is much larger (see near the foot of this page at Alain Ramel's Les Insectes site).

Photos taken in Whiteknights Park, Reading University grounds, Reading, UK, on 2010-05-23.
