@Hejor1 I think this could be the Purslane Sawfly (Schizocerella pilicornis) but it doesn’t have a category set up yet so I have added it as a temporary suggestion. I might see if someone else can make sure it’s correct & if it is, they might be able to add it in for us. @simonc or @MichaelMulvaney would either of you be able to confirm this one?

Thanks Di - Yes on Purslane

Sweet, thankyou @MichaelMulvaney I’m not terribly confident with the Sawflies so was a bit reluctant to ask🙃
