Lacewing makes a friend I thought things would get interesting as this lacewing and drone ant crossed paths, they merely crossed antenna for a moment and went along their way. Peaceful bug meeting. I was a little bit surprised but I suppose the drones main purpose is to be 'a lover not a fighter'.  Chrysopa sp.,Geotagged,Greece,Green Lacewing,Summer Click/tap to enlarge

  1. I've set the country to Greece, I hope that is correct? Posted 9 years ago
    1. Thanks Ferdy - oversight on my part I'm afraid - I was rather tired last night when uploading and must have missed this one :) just updating the specific location now. Thanks for the headsup! Posted 9 years ago

  2. Hi Stuart,
    sorry to say, but I'll remove the ID. This is certainly not Chrysoperla carnea, but rather some Chrysopa sp. These are quite tricky to ID from photo and I have no clue as to the southern Mediterranean species, so I'm afraid I really can't offer an alternative ID :-/
