Hi, Last year the sawfly , mainly the larvea they leave behind in the leaf defoliated my hibiscus. I have seen them this year landing on my plants and have killed many and left them on the leaf for a deterant. I started seeing them as early as last 2 weeks of May .

Now that we are in June with the warmer wheather they are more abundant. I have been spraying with neem oil as well.

This year I am determined to have my plants intact with leaves. Last year they ate all the leaves despite my hand picking which was useless because everyday there were more.

The Sawfly seem to land all summer long on this type of hibiscus and hadpicking is futile!

Despite spraying neem oil they are still landing on my plants and if the larvea do show up I just hope neem oil will do them in .

Anyone else share their experience with this type of pest?

Any info would be appreciated.
