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 one year ago

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

    Interesting is good, at least. Hope the turnout improves! Posted one year ago
