Sawfly - Tenthredininae subfamily
Hymenoptera (Ants, Bees, Wasps and Sawflies) / Symphyta (Sawflies) / Tenthredinidae (Common Sawflies)
I found this female sawfly devouring a small beetle. It took eight minutes, and all there was left were bits 'n pieces. Females of this subfamily will often dine on smaller bugs in search of protein for building their eggs. The larvae, however, are completely herbivorous.
