Side view of a small lacewing standing on a pale surface. The lacewing has long antennae stretched out in front and wings that are a brownish grey with a delicate pattern across them
Such a beautiful, delicate lacewing, seen in early February in the Perth Hills. I think is one of the Beaded Lacewings (Family Berothidae) but I'm not sure of the species.

A really shitty picture of my black wild-caught bold jumping spider (phiddipus audax), about pinky nail sized, holding and eating a yellowish lacewing. He sits on top of a pink 3D printed tamagatchi hide, as if that's how it's supposed to be used.
Another angle, slightly closer, you can see his dark silhouette better now.
Important pupdate:
He's eating

Female Chrysoperla carnea (probably) or Chrsyoperla pallida (possibly, but very much less likely). These are green lacewings that turn brown in winter. This one isn’t fully brief but the green colour is dull and there are brown patches on the tergites (along the top of the abdomen).
My first #lacewing of the year, and an excuse to try out the camera on my new phone. It’s either Chrysoperla carnea or Chrysoperla pallida. Females of these two species can’t be told apart but based on my records of males here it’s several hundred times more likely to be carnea.

Picture of a lacewing with broad creamy coloured wings that are held quite flat against the surface it is resting on. The wings have various double lined dark brown markings and a red patch in the centre near the bottom. The lacewing's head is at the top of the picture
Psychopsis mimica
An unusual visitor to our Perth Hills garden moth light last night... not a moth but one of the Silky Lacewings.
First time seeing one of these beauties! It was quite sizeable, about 2cm in length.

A Lacewing insect on a cream coloured wall. Brown body and lacy wings. Some shadows being its evening and in electric light. Long antenna splayed out. 6 legs and bulging eyes.
In my home just now.
Is this a Lacewing? I thought they were green. This one is brown.
Beautiful creature about 1cm long body. It’s long antenna splay out nearly as long as its body.
There are shadows as it’s in electric light on a cream wall.

Picture of a small brown lacewing with long antennae held upright, a shiny dark eye and brown wings standing on a reflective surface/window
Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?
This Tasmanian Brown Lacewing (Micromus tasmaniae) was beautifully reflected in a window. Seen in our Perth Hills garden in mid-December. Common around large parts of Australia

Picture of a small lacewing insect on a white background. The insect has quite rounded, generally translucent wings with a number of distinct brown spots and clear veins
This small lacewing was a more unusual visitor to the garden light recently. Identified on #inaturalist as Carobius pulchellus, a member of the Brown Lacewing family (Hemerobiidae). This is just the 3rd observation of this species in WA

Spoonwing with pale blue and black stripes on its wings. The forewings are quite rounded, while the hindwings are slender and long. Ink and watercolor.
Nemoptera sinuata - spoonwing lacewing; unsure if there's a common name for this one (2021)

Macro photograph of a green lacewing, seen through in a window. Background is solid black
A cabin we were staying at near Canyon Lake, Texas had lots of mayflies and lacewings. This lacewing posed helpfully in a window -

the head and a couple legs of a larval insect, the rest of the body is obscured by goldenrod flowers. it's a green lacewing, Chrysoperla rufilabris. if you're an american and you use iNaturalist to ID a lacewing larva it will probably suggest this species... every day i correct multiple observations mis-IDed to this - many of which aren't even in the same family.

A green lacewing resting on wood
A green lacewing, one of several very similar species, at Bath City Farm @bathcityfarm.bsky.social . Loved by gardeners and vegetable growers as their larvae predate aphids. In #Bath #Somerset #UK.

Macro photograph of a row of lacewing eggs against a dark background. Larvae are emerging from the eggs
I've seen and shot lacewing eggs a few times, but I've never caught a row with the larvae emerging. They're so tiny and detailed, with those cute little pincers -

a slender brown insect on a green leaf. it has long pokey mouthparts that are likely moments away from piercing into that aphid. Micromus sp., a brown lacewing
a small fly on the end of a blade of grass. it has red, banded eyes, some stripes along its thorax and abdomen, and funky lil antennae. Limnia sp.?
a small and very fluffy lump on a green leaf. could easily be mistaken for cottonwood fluff or some other plant matter, but it's a caterpillar, and those hairs will cause you pain if you touch them. Megalopyge sp.
1. more micromus!
2. a purdy fly
3. touch fuzzy, get stingy

A single, delicate green lacewing egg balances at the end of a long, slender, translucent filament that arcs upward from the curling tip of a green leaf. The egg is minuscule and translucent white, hovering like a tiny teardrop above the vibrant, velvet-textured leaf. The leaf itself is covered in fine hairs and edged with a thin line of rust-red coloration, its surface undulating in soft waves like a cresting ocean. The background is a deep, smooth green, rendering the egg and leaf in sharp contrast and giving the image a serene, almost surreal atmosphere. The image captures an intimate, nearly invisible moment in nature with extraordinary clarity and composition — emphasizing the fragility, elegance, and strangeness of life at a microscopic scale.
Balanced at the edge,
the world waits for our answer—
march, disrupt, defy.
A lacewing egg floats on a thread above a curled, velvet-textured leaf. Nature’s surreal precision captured in a fleeting, almost invisible moment of delicate balance and quiet defiance.

Closeup picture of a zinnia blossom that nearly fills the frame. The petals are varying shades of pale pink. The center is darker pink and kind of hairy looking. Surrounding the center are tiny pale green petals still unfurled and deep yellow strands interspersed. Near the top of the blossom is a green lacewing insect in a vertical position. The very top of the picture captures the bright green leaves of the zinnia.
Just met my first green #Lacewing hanging out on this pretty-in-pink #Zinnia

On a cultivated Acillea (yellow flowers) were two rapidly moving larvae with insect standard issue type legs. Long gripper mandibles. Hairy tufts along body. Blackish marks on head. Pattern along brown and cream body.
As with first pic, on a cultivated Acillea (yellow flowers) were two rapidly moving larvae with insect standard issue type legs. Long gripper mandibles. Hairy tufts along body. Pattern along brown and cream body.
#Lacewing larva today in Plymouth. Not able to ID any further. Apparently they are voracious. The legs look much more "normal for insects" than, e.g., Butterfly larvae.
