Hello! eguzki wrote: I have found these black wasps by the dozen today afternoon in my garden. I presume that it is a Tenthredinidae wasp. This early in the year and with that look I assume it is a Dolerus sp., but I'm no expert...

Hi Juergen! I guess your conclusion must be right; these sawflies are the earliest spring fliers. I found them amongst the lower vegetation of my garden and all of them fly awkwardly. I have found very similar species through the net in the family Argidae but I think their habit is certainly different. Thank you

looks to me more like a Blennocampini such as Phymatocera aterrima (Klug), what plant is it most associated with? the first photo looks as if it might be on a Polygonatum. |

Hi David! After I had read your thread I went out taking some new pic and studying these questionable sawflies. The plant is not a Polygonatum but a very common Iris but I do not know which species exactly. These sawflies mostly active on the rough and spear shaped leaves of Iris. They move very slowly and fly clumsily. Their size does not reach 1 cm. The size compared with the leaves: eguzki attached the following image:  [139.62Kb] Edited by eguzki on 27-03-2007 19:33 |

The species Rhadinoceraea micans (Klug, 1814) feeds on Iris sp. and it looks to that... Pierre-Nicolas |
