Thanks Jonathan! I never get Ids on my lacewings.

Pointed hindwings may indicate one of the species in the Chrysoperla pudica-group. Potentially not C. rufilabris, though, as the red markings on the genae don't seem as bold as typical (and I'm unaware of a good key to the other 3 species in the group).

Pretty Green Lacewing. Not sure of the species.
