Sawflies can be controlled through the use of insecticides, natural predators and parasitoids, or mechanical methods.

Etymology

The suborder name "Symphyta" derives from the Greek word , meaning 'grown together', referring to the group's distinctive lack of a wasp waist between prostomium and peristomium. Its common name, "sawfly", derives from the saw-like ovipositor that is used for egg-laying, in which a female makes a slit in either a stem or plant leaf to deposit the eggs. The first known use
