The
Alder Wood Wasp Xyphydria camelus
belongs to a family of sawflies with unusually long necks (see photographs) and
with just a few native British species. The larvae of this woodland insect feed
on Alder Alnus glutinosa and Birch Betula spp. By
sawfly standards this is a relatively easy species to identify!
