Sawfly ID? (Cambs. UK)

Hi All

I have few fleeting pictures of a sawfly that I haven't seen before.

After searching high and low I think it might be a Dolerus sp. - Perhaps Dolerus aericeps.
I found pictures of this species with forelegs that have red knees!

It was working it's way through knee high grass in a woodland ride.

The pronotum and mesoscutum (think that is correct) are both orange/red but there is a
black mark on the latter. This doesn't match D. aericeps and so makes me doubt my original
ID.

Could someone help on this?

Thanks, Gareth

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
