Lacewing

Nymphidae sp.

Description:

Adult lacewings can be recognised by their habit of holding the wings tent-like over the body when at rest and by the branching at the end of the main veins in the wings. This branching of wing veins distinguishes them from other similar flying insects such as dragonflies and damselflies (Order Odonata), mayflies (Order Ephemoptera) and alderflies (Order Megaloptera). - See more at: http://australianmuseum.net.au/Lacewings...
