Not a moth (2)......

Just reading the recent post on Birch Sawfly (Cimbex femoratum). Not my area at all, but I found a presumed one of these last May flying around birch near Springfield Landfill, S. Bucks.  It was over an inch long, huge, though my photo doesn't show the red body of Dave's photo.  Is the red body a variant?  I have seen some photos of these referred to as var. silvarum.

    I'm afraid my knowledge of saw-flies is sadly lacking, Adam. Hopefully one of the Martins will know more!
