Nice spot, Gilma! Would be great to have it in my mission :-) .

Yes, you are right about the different spellings, LuisStevens. I read the adult is called "Antlion lacewings", but not many call them that.
I will wait for someone here at PN with more knowledge than me to place an ID.

Thanks ForestDragon, I will research, and ID will be great!
