Hi Morgana. I've checked in my book and there are a couple of Sawflies which mayconform to your description. One is "Tenthredo Arcuata" and the other is "Tenthredo Scrophulariae". I hope this helps.

I shall look at these see which one fits thanks for the choices

The theory is that many animals imitate more dagerous ones for their own protection.
