EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the intricate details of a common sawfly (Tenthredo spp.), a member of the family Tenthredinidae within the order Hymenoptera, and the superorder Symphyta. The illustration, expertly crafted by natural history artists David Morgan and Ian Gauld, brings to life the beauty and complexity of this often overlooked invertebrate. Sawflies are a diverse group of insects, with over 6,000 described species. They are commonly found outdoors and are active during the daytime. Unlike their namesake, sawflies are not true flies, but rather belong to the order Hymenoptera, which also includes ants, bees, and wasps. The larvae of sawflies, known as sawfly larvae or symphylids, are often mistaken for caterpillars due to their elongated body shape and legless appearance. The adult sawfly in this illustration is depicted with its characteristic slender body, long antennae, and two pairs of wings. The larvae, however, are shown in various stages of development, displaying their unique features such as prominent mandibles and various body markings. The illustration also highlights the diversity of sawfly larvae, with some species resembling caterpillars while others bear spines or other defensive structures. This stunning illustration by David Morgan and Ian Gauld provides a closer look at the fascinating world of sawflies and sheds light on their important role in ecosystems as herbivores and predators. The intricate details and accurate depiction make it an essential addition to any natural history collection or scientific research library.
