Thanks for the comment, John. According to the information I have found about this lacewing, it has only spread to certain parts of the Philippines.
Thanks for the comment, John. I've seen this a few times before without investigating further, thought it was bird poo.

A beautiful butterfly. Usually I don't use the name of the person who found and described the species because sometimes it seems that no one is completely correct. Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz had two expedition, from 1815. to 1818 and 1823 to1826 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Fri.... So what did he do in 1821?
The male piatensis: Abdomen elongated; dorsally white to yellow, with a blackish pattern; ventrally with a black dot in front of the spinnerets. Spinnerets white to yellow.
The black dot is one of the characteristics https://www.researchgate.net/publication...

Your spotting need a location. Use the edit and select country and place on the map.
Thats a good one Mark. 'Stinking parachute' is better suited for a joke.
Thank you Brian for the comment.
This insect is not a moth and don't belongs to the Missions you put it in. The insect is a Lacewing of the order Neuroptera, net-winged insects. So it is not a fly either. The color is not easy to see, but it look a little bit greenish. If so, it is a Green Lacewing of the family Chrysopidae https://www.inaturalist.org/places/colom...
