I was busy taking a few photos of the shield bug this afternoon when I spotted some movement near me on the roof of the bird table - and that turned out to be a lacewing larvae - the first time I have seen one as it happens...

    Paul,

    Excellent images.

    I'm pretty sure that the lacewing larva is not the common Chrysopa carnea, being the wrong colour and carrying that detritus. Maybe something more interesting.

    Thanks Brian. :)

    Harold - if you can determine what it is exactly, then feel free to let me know. thumb.gif

    Paul,

    Most likely is Chrysopa perla (not to be confused with the alternative name of Chrysoperla canea) but I am unlikely to be able to confirm that. It is not C.carnea or a Brown Lacewing.
