![]() Several species can be found in gardens and are part of the biodiversity a healthy garden will support. Most are small (< 1cm) but some species such as the Birch sawfly ( Cimbex femoratus) can be over 2 cm long. Adults can come in a range of colours many are black, green orange or striped yellow and black. They have caterpillar like larvae that feed on plant material and are named after the saw like egg laying organ used by females to lay eggs in plant material. There are about 500 species of sawfly in Britain. Sawflies are a group of insects suborder (Symphyta) of the Hymenoptera (bees, ants and wasps).
