Hi All,

Yes, Cimbicidae are quite different from the "usual" sawflies - usually quite impressive big critters (with nice big "caterpillar" larvae too ), most easily recognized by the heavy club-like antennae I think. Hardly ever see one though

It seems most of the Abia are quite similar, with only subtle differences to tell them apart (antennae colouring?) and not always 100% reliable at that. Problem: It's not easy to find clear 100% certain images of all species, and as long as I have only seen a few of them it remains unclear I think. That said, the host plant might indeed be a good indication
