NO ID ???

The Tenthredinidae is the largest family of sawflies, with well over 6000 species worldwide. Larvae are typically herbivores, with occasional exceptions that are leaf miners, stem borers, or gall makers.

The family has no easily-seen diagnostic features, though the combination of 5-9 antennal flagellomeres plus a clear separation of the first abdominal tergum from the metapleuron can reliably separate them.

Female sawfly uses sawlike ovipositor to cut slits through barks of twigs, into which translucent eggs are wedged, which damage trees. Although they often damage trees and crops, parisitic species are useful in the control of insect pests.

Sawflies live in galls, or make mines in leaves. They can also live in meadows, and in forest glades near rapid streams. Adults eat little, while larvae feed on foliage of streamside trees and shrugs, especially willow. Sawfly larvae often feed in groups, and each curls up on a leaf as it leeds, forming an "S."

These sawflies are often black or brown, and from 3-20 mm long. Like other sawflies they lack the slender "waist," or pedicel, between the thorax and abdomen, which are instead broadly joined. They have long threadlike antennae composed of 7-10 segments, and are often clubbed or comblike. The larvae of most species resemble small caterpillars and feed on the foliage of trees and shrubs.

Metamorphosis is complete. Sawfly larvae have a well-developed head with chewing mouthparts, and also have legs on the thorax and several pairs of abdomonial prolegs, unlike their ant or bee counterparts.

Ciao Dejo,
un bellissimo "closeup" di un Imenottero della Famiglia Tenthredinidae, appartenente al Genere Rhogogaster o al Genere Tentredo (esistono molte specie simili).
Complimenti,
Marcello

Hi Dejan,
Just appreciating this wonderful shot from you. I am on a tour and internet connection comes at a premium here, hence doing a short job. Sorry.
Regards.

Hi Dejan
Splendid macro! Beautiful look!
Excellent colors, sharpness and texture.
The green background enriched the first plan.
Impressive the wealth of details!
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,

Hello Dejan,
You've taken very unique and colourful insects. Sorry I can't help you its ID.
Excellent vivid colours and amazing focusing here, with fine details and sharpness.
Well presented and TFS,
Best wishes, Kevin
Have a nice weekend!

Hello Dejan,

Very sharp picture of this insect. I tried to find which one it is, but it is difficult. I would say tenthredo notha (which is quite close but not identical), but as Marcello has said they are a lot of similar species.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hello Dejo,
Excellent macro of a Sawfly: a species of the Rogogaster genus but there are several in this genus that look similar.
Excellent composition on a leaf, sharpness, DOF and colours.
Well done and TFS!

Hi Dejan

A very beautiful and colorful macro shot from you!
This is a very interesting insect, with vivid colors and great natural contrast, but i'm sorry i can't help you with an exact ID.
Never the less, your capture here presents the subject with excellent details and well isolated from the BG thanks to the terrific shallow DOF.
Good exposure and nice side POV, too.

Bravo and TFS

Superbe macro, avec un très beau BG et de beaux détails.

Hello Dejan,
beautiful, this big-eyed tenthredinid! You mastered the light perfectly, it gives the wasp transparence and everything is doused in a soft light, wonderful!
Best regards,

Hi Dejan

You've got some great macro skills. I really like the bright colours and details in this picture. I think insectst are very interesting in shape and colours, and you have managed to capture them really well! Very great DOF and POV, with a beautifull BG.

TFS, Thijs

Welcome again :)
This is also very nice and interesting species, and a member of Hymenoptera family which is not often presneted on TN - Tenthredinidae. I agree with Marcello, for me it is very similatr to Tentredo arcuata, but there are a few additional very similar species :)
Best greetings from Poland,
Radomir
