Are sawflies dangerous

Are any sawfly species dangerous to humans in any life stage such as by poisoning, biting, or stinging?

No. Sawflies are fairly harmless. The larval stage of a few species can secrete a liquid that can irritate the eyes/skin, but one would have to be purposefully handling them and then rubbing their skin or face to get to that point.

As a note, even “dangerous” animals are relatively benign if the appropriate space and respect are given. Typically, inappropriate human behavior is what makes animals potentially dangerous.
