There are around 250 species of Sawfly in Britain, all of which have plant-feeding larvae. A few are garden pests but most feed as larvae on non cultivated plants. This webinar will include a talk on the biology of sawflies and the characters used to identify them.

Our Tutor: Andrew Halstead worked for the Royal Horticultural Society for 41 years as their Entomologist at Wisley Garden in Surrey. He has a long interest in sawflies and holds sawfly identification workshops for the British Entomological and Natural History Society.

We will end with an interactive question and answer session.
