Trying to add Elm Sawfly to the database

from bug guide:
Kingdom Animalia (Animals)
Phylum Arthropoda (Arthropods)
Class Insecta (Insects)
Order Hymenoptera (Ants, Bees, Wasps and Sawflies)
No Taxon (Sawflies, Horntails, and Wood Wasps)
Family Cimbicidae (Cimbicid Sawflies)
Genus Cimbex
Species americana (Elm sawfly)


Error:
"The order ("Hymenoptera") and family ("Cimbicidae") are not familiar to us. Before you can add this bug, you'll need to post the details to the BugFiles How-to's forum."

Thanks!
Ashley

Ashley,

When a family is not represented in BugFiles, the first entry must be made by an administrator.

I have now created an entry for the Elm Sawfly - Cimbex americana here: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/6444/

If you have images to add, can you let me know when you have added them so that I can select an image to illustrate the Cimbicidae in the index

Uploaded a picture of the larvae I found =)
Have more pictures somewhere in my photography folder, but I havent sorted through since last summer, so may take me a while to find the rest!!!

Thanks Ashley, I have used that image to illustrate the family Cimbicidae in the index here:
