    There are SO many different #MantisFlies in that third frame - it looks like five or more different species.

  2. This tiny hemerobiid lacewing, Sympherobius occidentalis, arrived to the porch light last night. With magnification, we can see its hypnotic wing venation.

  3. Buenos días con esta Mantispa styriaca. Creo que este curioso insecto del orden Neuroptera es más común de lo que parece, pero su pequeño tamaño la hace pasar un tanto desapercibida.

  4. Buenos días con este Libelloides hispanicus. Especie perteneciente al orden Neuroptera, con aspecto a medio camino entre mariposa y libélula. Se trata de un endemismo ibérico como indica su nombre científico y se distingue del resto de Libelloides por el gran número de celdas hialinas que presenta en las alas.

  6. #LichenSubscribe: I was looking at a loose clump of lichen on one of my reliable mite boulders when I noticed it was unusually…mobile. A lichen-carrying lacewing, _Leucochrysa pavida_!

    Some fascinating information and tips on distinguishing this species from similar North American debris-carrying lacewings here: bugguide.net/node/view/265445

  7. A golden-eyed lacewing. Many years ago, these were the first insects that really caught my attention. They seem so perfect and exotic that it's hard to believe they're real.

  8. Coniopteryx sp., order Neuroptera – there are so many insect orders and yet most often seen species belong to a handful that we encounter over and over. Neuroptera are rare but not too rare.
