Chrysopidae
Very small. My other spotting, was very large compared to this one: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/133... but them again it might not be the same insect?!
Thank you JonathanHoskins, I am trying to find more information...on the "Spotted-wing" Green Lacewing Leucochrysa sp.... It that Green Lacewing what they call ...."One of the morphs (the "brown-spotted" morph)" ? Is that why it was so small?
Thank You, KarenPuracan, You are right I have been looking at my Dobson Fly pictures (Male and Female) and they are bigger and yes the male is a bit Scarier with those huge pinchers!!
Dobsonflies are MUCH larger, and much scarier-looking. :) They are a muddy gray-brown, males have huge pincers, females smaller ones.
This is a Green Lacewing/Chrysopidae, Chrysopinae. Looks similar to the Leucochrysa insularis from US.
