Field Notes

Description:

I am not sure about the right species, the green one (Chrysoperla carnea) is pretty often here and this could be an albino too.

Habitat:

It was found on Ilex aquifolium.

Thank you for your comment but I tried too google your suggestion and nothing came out, did you misspell it maybe? And on this list of families is not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroptera, I glad you like my photos :))

we get Red Lacewings (Dysochtysa spp) in our part of the world so I wouldn't be surprised if you do too although may be a different genus. The contrast between the delicate lacewing and the robust holly adds interest to your photos
