Original – The Green lacewing fly is not really a fly (it has four wings instead of two) but an insect of the Neuroptera order, charaterized by a dense network of cross-veins in the wings. Most species, like Chrysopa sp. are carnivorous, feeding on samll insects.

Comment – Interesting detail. Could be cropped a bit from bottom & top (esp. bottom), as (blurry) white material, though a good backdrop, doesn't add visual info. Sca (talk) 13:29, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, done as an alternative. Thanks for the suggestion. Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:07, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support ALT - It's probably the more encyclopedic of the two. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:28, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Any chance of having a species name? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:03, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid not, this is a large genus and exact ID is only possible by close examnination of genitalia & etc. Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:45, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blast. It's the mealybugs all over again — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:18, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support either, preference for alt. Excellent macro. Good detail and most important parts in focus. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 19:30, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support Alt – even if it does look like it is crawling on anaemic rice pudding. Belle (talk) 20:58, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
