Lacewings are amazing looking insects. Great photo.

Thanks ChunXingWong for the link. I still don't know the exact species of this one so if anyone has any ideas that would be much appreciated.

A lacewing species from South Africa http://saphotographs.blogspot.com/2010/09/red-lacewing-dysochrysa-furcata.html

Fantastic - although probably not this species exactly, unless it managed to hitch a ride back with me from Africa!

Nice colorful lacewing. This may have produced those stalked eggs next door.

Thankyou, I had no idea what it was! Do you know what species it is?
