| Found two of these flies each on different buds on my montmorency cherry. It seems to be sucking the life out of the buds. A little damage on a few of the leaves. The tree is new this year and it's doing ok but not nearly as well as any of the others I planted. The first pic is just showing the damaged leaves. The other two are of the bug.

| Did you get hit with hail? The leaf damage looks like hail damage to me. The insect looks like a wasp that could be sucking the sap oozing from the damage. |
|
| Nope. No hail that I've seen and the other trees aren't showing any damage. Haven't seen any sap on the tree. |

| Without a better image, it's difficult to tell what this insect might be. It doesn't really look like a bee or wasp or similar to me. Perhaps one of the Cimbicid sawflies? |
