TENTHREDO SPECIES

Sawfly
Blattwespe


Order: Hymenoptera
Family: Tenthredinoidea
Size: 10-13mm
Habitat: Woods, shrubs
Distribution: Europe, Asia
Diet: Insects

Sawflies feed on insects, which we can see on this picture. As I took the photo I didn't notice the small insects in and on the Buttercup. This was probably the main reason for this sawfly do be on this flower.

These insects don't sting.

Hallo Anne
Another yellow beauty that has caught my eye within in a few minutes. A stunning macro which is super sharp, well focused and present in a lovely manner. This sawfly is really beautiful and I fancy its plumpish belly a lot. I also like the different segments on the belly. Colours captured are beautiful and portrays beautifully, especially the shiny eyes. Thanks for sharing this sunny and joyous image. Best regards.
Anna

Hi Anne
A fine macro of this sawfly - which lens did you use for it please? Fine, sharp details on the subject and well exposed too!
Kind Regards
Vinny

Bonjour Anne,
It's seems that you are now getting well enough to post some picture and that's great!
This is a fine nacro of the Green Sawfly taken from a good lateral POV that shows its feature with fine sharpness in a pleasing composition on the buttercup flower against a diffuse BG.
Thanks and best wishes,
Bon weekend,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Hello Anne,
This is a very fine capture of a Sawfly settled on the flower. Great focus and fine details and colours. A very pleasant background too. I just wonder if it is Tenthredo arcuata?? I've captured the same a while ago and the Green Sawfly looks greener on Google!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Ah, que j'aime cette photo et quelle belle observation, Anne! Au départ, je n'avais pas vu les petits insectes et puis, terrible, j'ai réalisé ce qui se passait. Et puis, la couleur qui passe du vert au jaune, sur le ventre de l'insecte, c'est une photo réussie et que j'ai eu du plaisir à observer! Merci!

Francine

Hi Anne,
A very nice macro composition ...
Depth of field, excellent color and detail.
Have a nice weekend,
Seyfi

A wonderful capture and so well presented Anne. My only nit is that, perhaps, the yellow in the flower is a bit over saturated... but in another way, I like the brillancy. :) Clarity of detail is great.

Larry

Hi Anne,
Perfectly focussed and composed macro capture of a sawfly which i saw firstly. Your POV and composition are also superb as well as details.
TFS and have a nice Saturday!
Bayram

hello Anne
this composition is super
shows the beautiful insect with the yellow very good
great sharpness
greeting lou

Formas, texturas, colores, brillos ... todo captado a la perfección a pesar del pequeño tamaño del insecto. El fondo y la luz también muy conseguidos. Una curiosa y bella especie creo que poco vista por Tn.

Hi Anne,
sorry to hear that youre not feeling very well previously. Me too..I have fever and flue. Since here we have the deadly H1N1.
Im recovering too and feeling a bit better. You will realise that Im not active in the previous weeks.
this is lovely shot of an engrossed fly.
very sharp and very well detailed.
Excellent blurry background with real narrow depth.
A lovely presentation.

regards,
Foozi

Hallo Anne,
gemütlich und gefräßig sitzt diese Wespe auf der kleinen Blüte. Sehr schöne Aufnahme vor dem unscharfen Hintergrund. War gerade in Schweden und habe leider außer den Häusern und Strassen in Stockholm nichts von der wunderbaren Natur gesehen
Liebe Grüße
Achim

Ciao Anne,
bellissima e particolare macro di questo insetto che sembra assaporare una pausa "felice" immerso nel piccolo fiore, eccellente definizione e colori brillanti e "vivaci", bellissima composizione come sempre.
Grazie e complimenti.
Buona serata
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Great macro here dear Anne. Very good colors and light in excellent sharp.
