Green lacewing
Chrysoperla carnea

Field Notes
Description:
Adult green lacewings are a pale green colour with long, threadlike antennae and glossy, golden, compound eyes. They have a delicate appearance and are from twelve to twenty millimetres long with large, membranous, pale green wings which they fold tent-wise above their abdomens. They are weak fliers and have a fluttery form of flight. They are often seen during the evenings and at night when they are attracted by lights.
Notes:
I see these a lot in the summer, mainly at night near artificial lights.
