Tenthredo notha, a common sawfly, is a species belonging to the family Tenthredinidae subfamily Tenthrediniinae. [1]
This species is mainly present in British Isles, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and Greece. [2]
The adults grow up to 8–11 millimetres (0.31–0.43 in) long. [3] These quite large sawflies have a lemon-yellow abdomen with black markings. This species is very similar to Tenthredo arcuata and Tenthredo brevicornis . [4]
They can be encountered from June through September feeding on small insects and on nectar and pollen of flowers (especially on Apiaceae species). [3]
The larvae mainly feed on clover ( Trifolium repens ), they overwinter as eonymph, pupating and emerging the following Spring. [3]
Sawflies are the insects of the suborder Symphyta within the order Hymenoptera, alongside ants, bees, and wasps. The common name comes from the saw-like appearance of the ovipositor, which the females use to cut into the plants where they lay their eggs. The name is associated especially with the Tenthredinoidea, by far the largest superfamily in the suborder, with about 7,000 known species; in the entire suborder, there are 8,000 described species in more than 800 genera. Symphyta is paraphyletic, consisting of several basal groups within the order Hymenoptera, each one rooted inside the previous group, ending with the Apocrita which are not sawflies.
Tenthredinidae is the largest family of sawflies, with well over 7,500 species worldwide, divided into 430 genera. Larvae are herbivores and typically feed on the foliage of trees and shrubs, with occasional exceptions that are leaf miners, stem borers, or gall makers. The larvae of externally feeding species resemble small caterpillars. As with all hymenopterans, common sawflies undergo complete metamorphosis.
Chelone glabra, or white turtlehead, is a herbaceous species of plant native to North America. Its native range extends from Georgia to Newfoundland and Labrador and from Mississippi to Manitoba. Its common name comes from the appearance of its flower petals, which resemble the head of a tortoise. In fact, in Greek, chelone means "tortoise" and was the name of a nymph who refused to attend the wedding of Zeus and was turned into a turtle as punishment. Its natural habitat is wet areas, such as riparian forests and swamps.
