Pseudoperga lewisii
Mid-late March 2009
Peter Murrell Reserve, Blackmans Bay
This sawfly is an admirable parent. She lays about 80 eggs in the leaf, and stands protectively over them for about 21 days before they hatch. They then guard over the larvae for another two weeks or so.

Ichneumon Wasps (in the Braconid mimicry ring) waiting to parasitise sawfly larvae. The larvae continually thrashed their defensive display. Days later there were dead wasps stuck to the sawfly exudate.
