Golden-eyed Lacewing



I think this is Itaochrysa insignis, from the "Green" or "Golden-Eyed" lacewing family. You can find these Australia wide throughout the year, just turn on an outside light and wait to see if you can spot one.



Bye the way, this photo is upside down, for easy viewing.

Looks like it has rubies in its eyes! Good work!
