Cimbex americana, the elm sawfly, is a species of sawfly in the family Cimbicidae.[1][2][3] This is a very large species of Hymenoptera, with adults measuring 3 cm and larvae reaching 5 cm long. If captured, adults may buzz and use their powerful spiny legs defensively. However, like other sawflies, this species does not possess a sting.[4]
