Mantid lacewing

Still attempting to ID this little character, particularly tiny at 10 mm length.

  Was yours as small as this Ernst? I didn't know they came this small, probably based on the 'normal' lacewings I see. Perhaps this was a juvenile. Posted 5 years ago

    Ruth, my one was only a fleeting moment. I didn’t even know what it was until I seen your photo. I was walking in a forested area near Beaudesert QLD when one landed on my shirt. I had the wrong lens mounted but also was not quick enough to catch it and photograph it later maybe.
    When I seen your image I realised what I missed.
