Trying (and failing) to capture a photo of my first ever C. rufilabris (Red-lipped Green Lacewing) while climbing over a fence. All outtakes. My iNaturalist 📸: Nikon COOLPIX P100

Very strange little Chrysopid larvae. These larvae have long bristles that eventually collect bits of fallen debris. This helps camouflage them from predators.

I’ve also been bitten by these things before, so be weary whilst handling.

Unknown, Chrysopidae

Another slow moth night, but can’t really complaint about this Zeugomantispa minuta / Green Mantisfly that flew in.

Not much going on at the Moth Trap tonigh although this this little guy/gal was hunting on the sheet. Probably Dicromantispa sayi but wouldn’t bet on it.

Should of paid more attention to watching it hunt, would of be nice to see what its success rate was with only 1 raptorial appendage.
