Yes, indeed! Beautiful species.

Chrysoperla also won't have any brownish markings until winter. This compares to Chrysopa quadripunctata (which occurs in the US) or allied, though I'm not certain how far south true C. quadripunctata ranges.

Nodita is currently understood as a subgenus of Leucochrysa.

The brown lacewings are in the family Hemerobiidae, separate from the green lacewings in family Chrysopidae.

Ceraeochrysa lineaticornis would have black lines on the antennal pedicels and shares its antennal coloration with Chrysopa nigricornis.

Very different body structure from the green lacewings. Note as well that Chrysoperla carnea (sensu stricto) doesn't occur anywhere in the western hemisphere.

Pointed hindwings may indicate one of the species in the Chrysoperla pudica-group. Potentially not C. rufilabris, though, as the red markings on the genae don't seem as bold as typical (and I'm unaware of a good key to the other 3 species in the group).

Mantid lacewing (mantidfly), noting the raptorial forelegs that don't occur in other lacewing groups.

JonathanHoskins Ichneumon Wasp
Ichneumon Wasp commented on by JonathanHoskins Marmora and Lake, Ontario, Canada4 years ago

The abdomen's much too long and laterally compressed to be any species of Ichneumon s.s. This is actually an ichneumonid within subfamily Anomaloninae, tribe Gravenhorstiini (and I think genus Therion).

Polistine Wasp commented on by JonathanHoskins MG, Brazil5 years ago

I'm thinking more likely a species of Mischocyttarus given the longer first abdominal segment and the longer hind legs. There are a few similar species.
