Tenthredo mesomela (Linnaeus, 1758)
Sawflies are notoriously difficult to identify and tend to be avoided by many entomologists. Tenthredo mesomela is perhaps one of the easier species to determine, but there are similar looking species and correct identification still has to be made carefully. Due to the lack of interest in recording Sawflies locally, there tend to be few modern Nottinghamshire records.
