Micromus lanosus for Jivko :o) Horrible image of Micromus lanosus (I must have misplaced the better series of images) just to indicate the difference in wing veination vs. Micromus angulatus to help explain with the ID on this one:<br />

Micromus lanosus (Zeleny, 1962) is a Palearctic species of the genus Micromus in the family Hemerobiidae ("Brown Lacewings). The species wasn't described until 1962, from Czechoslovakia but has been found in many other European countries and even in Turkey since. It is considered the rarest of its congeners in mainland Europe, and generally seems to occur only in low population densities over its fairly wide range (as it is known currently).
