Sawfly
Rhogogaster viridis
The adult sawfly inhabits woodland edges, hedgerows, and gardens where flowering plants and host trees grow nearby. It flies between vegetation and feeds mainly on nectar and pollen. Despite its wasp-like appearance, it does not sting; females use a saw-like egg-laying organ to place eggs into plant tissue.
