Green lacewing in the sun.

Incredible photographs and commentary on neuropteran larvae by Gil Wizen. He's not on Mastodon so I can't link to him so that you all can follow. He has a nice newsletter you should sign up for. #owlfly #lacewing #insects #nature #macrophotography #entomology #australia https://gilwizen.com/stop-tricking-me-neuropterans/

This #FossilFriday really has #legs!
This stem-group lineage in the #lacewing superfamily from the Middle #Jurassic is a rare opportunity to explore the entire evolutionary history of a specialized structure in 1 lineage. https://doi.org/10.1111/jse.13125

A new lacewing species for the garden - a golden-eyed lacewing. They are a natural pest control. Host plants include the aster family, sunflowers, and coreopsis.

@superball The suspect in question.

It's not just #moths that visit the moth box overnight. Here are four interesting critters that stopped over Chez Moi last night.

1) Euides basilinea - a planthopper

2) Curculio glandium - acorn weevil

3) Brown lacewing - probably Hemerobius stigma

4) Mealworm beetle

Found a freshly emerged lacewing from our little mid-terrace garden pond, sitting right next to its exuvia. #lacewing #insect #nature #garden #wildlife #alttext #wildlifephotography #entomology #hastings

I saw a Queen Butterfly laying eggs on our Milkweed; a few days later the tiny larvae/caterpillars hatched! I painted this for my Perpetual Journal & you can see photos on my recent blog post https://paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/new-teeny-tiny-little-friends
