Green Lacewing

02Jun09

Pretty and delicate, they have transparent wings and golden eyes. Very common, there are hundreds of them flying around now:

They are also flighty, they take off at the slightest disturbance. They aren’t flies, they are in the insect order Neuroptera along with antlions.

    Excellent detail in the lacewing and particularly in the wings. I like the sparkle of color there. And the background is excellent. Another “very well done”.
