Common sawfly

<em>Allantus basalis</em> is a sawfly species within the family Tenthredinidae, order Hymenoptera, native to temperate regions of North America and Scandinavia, including records from Canada, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. As a member of the subfamily Allantinae, this species is part of a broadly distributed group of plant-associated insects. Adults are typically small, dark-bodied insects resembling stout wasps, and larvae are known to feed on the foliage of their specific host plants, though the precise host associations for this species remain incompletely characterized in the literature. <em>Allantus basalis</em> inhabits woodland margins, shrubby areas, and vegetated habitats across its range where suitable host plants occur. The species has not been assessed by the IUCN, and its conservation status is therefore listed as Not Evaluated. Biological traits for this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature, including data on average lifespan, body size, weight, and specific dietary composition. Population trends are currently unknown, and the species does not appear to face significant recognized threats at this time.

호주 동부와 동남부의 상징적인 유대류로, 체중이 최대 15kg이며 저칼로리인 유칼립투스 잎 식단에서 에너지를 절약하기 위해 하루 최대 22시간을 잠으로 보낸다. 대부분의 다른 포유류를 죽일 수 있는 유독한 유칼립투스 성분을 처리하도록 고도로 특화되어, 해독에 특별히 적응된 장내 미생물총을 지닌다. 2022년 기후 변화, 서식지 개발, 클라미디아 감염으로 인한 개체수 감소로 위기종으로 지정되었다.
