This page contains pictures and information about Paperbark Sawflies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

This sawfly is dark blue in colour with orange spots on thorax and orange rings on abdomen. Its wings are dark blue as well. We found this sawfly active flying among young gum trees in Alexandra Hill in mid summer. 

 

 

 

The larva was found during mid summer in Alexandra Hill. We tried to raise them as raising the moth caterpillars a few times, but never success.
