The Golden-eyed Lacewing.

I was hoping to get moths but got a lacewing instead! Very few moths came to my light. Maybe I went to bed too early! The flash changed it from a golden to a red eye.

Seem to be a lot of factors involved in whether moths appear or not, it's a game for the long run :) Posted 2 years ago

Beautiful lacewing! Good luck with the moths! Some nights I get tons, other nights none. Humid nights usually have a better turnout, especially if the moon is dark or in a crescent phase. Posted 2 years ago

  Thanks for that info. So far the “turnout” has been rather poor but very interesting. Posted 2 years ago

    Interesting is good, at least. Hope the turnout improves! Posted 2 years ago
