Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This beautiful and delicate chrysopid is frequently encountered in houses in Gauteng. Many records from Johannesburg and Pretoria. Also from Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West. Nothing id know about its immature stages, but the larvae may be inquilines in ant’s nests.
