Thanks ForestDragon ,I didn't realise I had posted it in the Flies mission .I will move it to the mission you have suggested.

Neat spotting! Sawflies are actually a type of wasp, not flies. I have removed this spotting from the Flies! mission for you. This would be a good addition to the Hymentopera of the world mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/9004348
