Sawfly? Black with yellow abdomen and legs basically skeletonized all of the bedstraw in my yard. Not complaining, that stuff makes me itch.
On Cryptantha flowers. Wooded Hill Trail. Elev ~ 6,000 ft.
Seen on Phacelia along Oakzanita Trail.
Photo taken by Tom Rutherford. Suspected to have been transported to Victoria Island via SeaLift cargo, locals fear this insect has established a population in the community. This wood wasp adult was observed before the annual SeaLift cargo delivery.
