Nematus oligospilus

 * ... that male willow sawflies are unknown in the Southern Hemisphere, where the insect is invasive, despite being present in its native range? Source: "Populations of willow sawfly in the Northern Hemisphere include both males and females" "Strict parthenogenesis was apparent within invasive N. oligospilus populations throughout the Southern Hemisphere, which comprised only a small number of genotypes."

 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough. I am not seeing "slender", "membranous" or the colour of the legs in the source. It seems also that the source #1 isn't saying that this sawfly occurs in Australia. I am not sure that we can read #2 as "willows do not occur in Australia and New Zealand naturally". #4 is not easily searchable, probably merits a more specific link/page number. Finally, the source #3 is clear that there can be variable amounts of instars and not just six. Sources appear reliable, though. No indication of plagiarism, copyvios probably not present either. Hook is reliably sourced and fairly interesting. QPQ is done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:11, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * There is no DYK requirement for the reviewer to check all the sources, you know. Slender is from the image, membranous = transparent and that and the leg colours are in the source. Willows Salix are a northern hemisphere genus so cannot be native to Australia and New Zealand. Specific page numbers are not usually given when a paper has a limited number of pages as here. I have changed the information on instars. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:16, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
