requesting ID for the insect on the sawfly
I have an ongoing battle against these invasive hibiscus sawflies, they nearly kill my bushes each year. do I have an ally in this fight? could it have been laying eggs(?) on the sawfly larva? the sawfly would twitch from time to time, clearly agitated
then again, it kind of just looks like a adult sawfly itself. Google isn't helping much

This milkweed plant has been observed for many years. It has an umbel arrangement like purpurascens, but droops like syriaca. The flowers show characteristics of both. The fruits are arranged like syriaca, but reatively smooth like purpurascens. Dr. Richard Rintz determined this plant is definitely a hybrid between the two species.

I think it is Porella platyphylloidea (https://bryophyteportal.org/portal/taxa/index.php?taxauthid=1&taxon=160475&clid=97#), but that's not in iNaturalist taxonomy. Growing on limestone rocks on mesic slope along boardwalk down into Devil's Icebox. Left hand side of trail on way down.

Maybe? - has been the only suggestion received. Uncommon - wholly unique as far as I have ever found. Third picture shows what appears to be spines (suggesting brachiopod?). The fossil is exposed on both sides of the slab. Sixth picture shows the opposite side of the first five pictures. Last photo shows the slab viewed on edge.
