Sawfly

DateWed 2010-12-01

From early summer: a wheat stem sawfly, Cephus pygmaeus (Hymenoptera: Cephidae).  From the shape of the abdomen I suspect it is a male.  Here is a photo of a female from BioLib.cz.

Photo taken in Whiteknights Park, Reading University grounds, Reading, UK, on 2010-06-09.
