sawfly? I believe this is some type of sawfly but can not find a specific ID. It is a bit blurry but it was in flight which I thought was a great way to see its entire body for better ID. What I struggle with is what appears to be a long tail which is not indicative to a sawfly. Need help on this. Here is another image with better clarity to assist: <a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/46100" rel="nofollow">https://www.jungledragon.com/image/46100</a> Fall,Geotagged,United States Click/tap to enlarge

    I believe this is a Hollyhock Sawfly. See references:

      If it helps, It looks more Ichneumonidae to me... a female (large ovipositor).
