Talk:Sawfly

message: The 1st paragraph desperately needs rewrite. Is the taxonomy of this suborder that controversial or unclear? Needs an expert, which I'm not. I just photograph them. Thanks. Nickrz (talk) 13:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Taxonomy 

message: I did a word search in the article and did not find "venom" mentioned. However, since their wasp, bee, and ant cousins are well known for being dangerous, if they are indeed benign, then this needs to be positively confirmed. Linstrum (talk) 11:09, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I see this comment is from 2014, but no sawfly is venomous. The stinger is a derived character first seen in wasps because it evolved from the ovipositor seen in sawflies. Burklemore1 (talk) 10:44, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Are any of the saw flies venomous? 

message: I am going to expand this article so it can meet GA criteria. Once promoted, all insects of the order Hymenoptera will be at GA or higher. Burklemore1 (talk) 09:50, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I should further note I will commence this expansion once I am done with Termite in my sandbox. Burklemore1 (talk) 01:26, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I'll work on this one instead. Burklemore1 (talk) 08:35, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not sure what happened there. And was it all subgroups rather than all insects? I don't even see a GA for Hymenoptera --Michael Goodyear (talk) 21:23, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

text:  I have made some improvements but it is far from being GA --Michael Goodyear (talk) 13:28, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

text: Michael Goodyear, yeah, I mean the subgroups within Hymenoptera. Bee is GA, Wasp is GA and Ant is FA. Thank you for the improvements. Burklemore1 (talk) 05:17, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  It will be good to see more insect groups up to a good standard. I'll lend a hand here. (All the insects might take a bit of time...) Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:15, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for the contributions! I'll have to start expanding the description section and add some information about its life cycle and reproduction. Burklemore1 (talk) 12:30, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Excellent. Am putting together a cladogram. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:13, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Great addition, I'll start doing some fixes and expansion. Burklemore1 (talk) 02:23, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Looking good now. What do you think still needs doing? Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:36, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Perhaps the statements I have said on my talk page, but I will go through them quickly. I will try and get the parasites section complete now. Burklemore1 (talk) 16:22, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

message: The sentence " ...  The larvae of some species have anti-predator adaptations such as regurgitating irritating liquid and clustering together for safety in numbers ...
