Hi All,

Going through my digital images from 2011 I came across an un-named but quite distinctive sawfly larva. After a great deal of searching the web, I finally stumbled on a match. The foodplant, Oak (Quercus spp.) was correct.
There are few records on the NBN Gateway site but that means nothing. However, no Cheshire or North West records. So this may be a good record.
