Thank you very much, John. It fooled me because most sawflies I've seen have longer abdomen.
Hi SergioThis is some type of sawfly (Symphyta).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SawflyThese are the most primitive of wasps - where the larvae still eat plants similar to caterpillars.Don't know the families well enough to tell you which one.
