    Unfortunately we cannot create a species for Chrysopini as it is a 'Tribe' of the family Chrysopidae and therefore not at species level
    Gorgeous specimen though! And good luck with the eye shot!     Posted 3 years ago, modified 3 years ago

    Could quite possibly be Chrysopidae carnea, but there are many subspecies, and I am not knowledgeable enough to be certain. Posted 3 years ago

          Actually I don't think it like a coincidence but more as a consequence of finding this great community, since I've joined Jungle Dragon I've been learning a lot, so thank you for that ;-) Posted 3 years ago

    I love these lacewings, we get quite a lot over here. They seem to like overwintering in the house. Posted 3 years ago

      I find them very elegant and photogenic, but it's not easy to get a very close up shot, they're a bit afraid of us (wisely) :-P Posted 3 years ago
