sawfly

Biology of gall-making nematine sawflies in the California region.

Can you guess how many male sawflies flew into the trap?

Figwort sawflies do look like wasps except, in flight, they are slower and drag those long, orange legs behind them.

The roseslug is a slug-like, greenish white, repulsive-looking larva (stage between egg and adult) of certain sawflies about five-eighths of an inch long.

The sawflies collected in 2009 (N = 2) and 2011 (N = 7) were identified as A.

While Combes and Dudley only studied 10 species of euglossine bees, Combes said that this stabilizing behavior is likely to be seen across Hymenoptera, the order of insects that includes bees, wasps, ants, and sawflies, and that turbulent airflow may decrease the flight performance of many other flying insects as well.

To help you, I have outlined the life cycle of this sawfly, one of over 400 different sawflies which attack a wide range of wild and cultivated plants.

The culprits are the larvae of sawflies which look like plump caterpillars.

They're the offspring of female sawflies that cause the leaf-rolling by injecting chemicals as they lay their eggs.

If the farmer chooses a nonresistant variety and the spring emergence of adult sawflies is large, there is only a 1- to 2-week period in which to spray insecticides.

For example, plant genotype plays an important role in determining the densities of insects such as Euura sawflies (Fritz and Price 1988), Pemphigus aphids (Service 1984, Moran 1981), and Neodiprion sawflies (Mopper et al., 1991).
