#1380 - Psychopsis mimica - Silky Lacewing
Photo by Christian Bom, and found hiding under a leaf in the Carnarvon Gorge area, Central Highlands, Queensland.
Silky Lacewings are a small family of predatory insects, with broad hairy wings, with vivid patterns. It’s not clear which lacewing family they’re most closely related to, but the fossil evidence shows they were more diverse back in the Triassic (250mya to 200mya) then they are today.
All the Australian species are in the genus Psychopsis, but these don’t seem to be one of the more common species - or at least I can’t find any photos of one that matches this pair.
EDIT: Ken Walker at Museums Victoria got in contact with one of the world experts on lacewings, who believes it to be Psychopsis mimica, which can be quite variable in markings.
It bloomed again!!
Consider this your reminder to NEVER cut your Psychopsis’ flower spikes until they turn brown! These guys can flower from the same spike for years!
It’s opening!! I’m so excited; I’ve had this plant for at least 4 years!!
