Surprisingly, this was walking on a wall below a light at night. Good place to hunt but very exposed and not a normal place to see them. Semi-rural residential area, San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico 2,200 meters.
The brown lacewings are in the family Hemerobiidae, separate from the green lacewings in family Chrysopidae.
