I have been unable to confirm the exact name - it's very, very similar to Tenthredo scrophulariae, but there's a variation with the banding that makes me think it's different. I've given up :)

Can't find it in my general insect book, smart looking fly though.
Nice capture :thumbsup:
Here is a guide to Sawflies
Thanks Beryl, but I have accessed a number of online guides - just couldn't find one insect exactly the same, although Tenthredo scrophulariae is almost identical - just one ring and a couple of yellow patches short.
This one looks like yours Louise, but no ident as far as I can see. http://nature-au-jardin.be/blog/publ...06-10_0033.jpg
It shouldn't be allowed - posting photos without an ID ;)
I think that this sawfly may appear in different striped versions.:)
Try the
Ctenophora ornata Kammschnake by =webcruiser on deviantART
Or I think this is it
Figwort Sawfly (Tenthredo scrophulariae)
