unknown species
12mm, Yellow green creature with wings like a lacewing and a form similar to a praying mantis.
Attracted to lights by my computer hunting small moths
This specimen is half the length of the others I have seen so I assume they were different species

I had a similar experience. The Thread-legged bug was so little that it was only in photos that I was able to see the sucking proboscis, which meant it wasn't a Mantid lacewing. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/644...
Lol lori.tas I thought it was a fleck of mown grass and it was a real surprise to see this amazing thing in the monitor
Great. I though I'd found one once, but it was a thread-legged bug instead.
Kewl.
It looks like something from a fantasy art poster I think
What a cool lacewing!
Strange and wonderful!
Ooh, strange looking thing... reminds me a bit of ET!!
