Horntails, Wood Wasps and SawfliesYellow Fly
June 12, 2010
Hi, I have found half a dozen of these bright yellow flies on my rose bush. They are just sitting upside down on the stems. The fly is about 1/2 inch long. I have never seen this fly before do you have any ideas? I live in East Anglia in England and it is a lovely summers day. I hope the pics are good enough for you to identify! By the way I love your site.

Large Rose Sawfly
Hi Tanya,
This was a very easy ID for us, because last week we received a photo of the same species from UK. We knew it was a Sawfly, but we were not sure of the species. Once we provided the querant, Richard Avery, with that information, he wrote back with a species identification of Arge pagana, the Large Rose Sawfly.
Hi Daniel,
Thank you very much for your reply and link to Richard’s query. I hope they wont cause too much damage to my roses!
Many thanks
Tanya
