Micromus tasmaniae
Micromus tasmaniae
-37.8998, 145.313
Field Notes
Description:
At approximately 30mm long this brown lacewing was exploring the bark of a local eucalyptus.
Habitat:
Gum tree trunk in local parkland.
Notes:
Almost the only arthropod seen in the area. Hemerobiidae are a family of plain insects usually about 15 to 30mm long and commonly known as 'Brown Lacewings'. It's a good disguise for bark. Species are very difficult to get information on although genus is well supported. http://esperancewildlife.blogspot.com.au/2010/04/brown-lacewings-hemero…
