Interesting that's was one of the few area's that shows up on the National Biodiversity Network map with the species present. Looks to be a good area for them.

Dogghound. Where can I drag up that map you're talking about?

It is quite underrecorded but is good for looking at local records.

Note that there are no national survey data for sawflies, so it may actually be a lot more common than the NBN map suggests (and it might not!)

Indeed, there seems little literature on them compared to other species too.
