Sawflies can be harmful, particularly to certain plants, as their larvae feed on leaves and can cause significant damage to gardens, crops, and trees. While they are not typically harmful to humans or animals, large infestations can lead to decreased plant health and aesthetic issues. In most cases, they can be managed through cultural practices or targeted treatments if necessary. Overall, their impact largely depends on the specific species and the context of their presence.
