Despite the name, sawflies are more closely related to wasps and bees. They’re named for the saw-like ovipositors the females use to slice open leaf or stem tissue to lay their eggs inside. Once the larvae hatch, they can devour massive amounts of leaves, possibly choking the plant out and killing it. Some species can even infest turfgrass, creating large, visible patches of dead grass in your lawn. • There are thousands of different species of sawfly around the world, and they each have a unique appearance from when they hatch as larvae to when they pupate into adults. Though each species looks different, most generally resemble flies and wasps. Adult sawflies will have two pairs of wings, whereas other flies only have 1 pair, and adult sawflies have thick waists, whereas wasps have thin waists. Also, all sawflies lack stingers, unlike female wasps. • Despite being closely related to wasps and bees, the larvae resemble butterfly and moth caterpillars, but there are ways to tell a sawfly larva from a caterpillar. In general, most sawfly larvae have smooth bodies, whereas caterpillars can appear to be either smooth, hairy, or spiny. Some sawfly larvae are even slimy and translucent, and are referred to as ‘slugs.’ • Additionally, sawfly larvae will always have 6 or more pairs of prolegs. Caterpillars will only have 5 or fewer pairs of prolegs. • Finally, sawfly larvae will exhibit a unique behavior that when feeding in groups and threatened, they’ll raise their tail ends as if to sting, even though they lack stingers. • Treatment is most effective when the larvae are young and less than halfway through their lifecycles. Avoid treating too late when the larvae are close to maturing into adults, since by then the damage is already done. • To treat sawfly larvae, you’ll need to use a systemic insecticide like Dominion 2L. Dominion 2L is a neonicotinoid that contains imidacloprid and will need to be mixed with water before application. This product can be applied either as a foliar treatment or as a soil drench to treat sawfly larvae. We recommend you use a handheld pump sprayer for low-volume applications or a hose-end sprayer for high-volume applications. • • Click the link to learn more about sawflies and shop the professional-grade products featured in this video! • https://bit.ly/Sawfly-Control-Guide • Thanks for watching! • • • #diypestcontrol #solutionspestandlawn #sawflies
