Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   These large green lacewings are characterized by long antenna. Genitalia usually need to be dissected to distinguish species, but the red markings on the head serve to distinguish this specimen. They are not commonly encountered, but do come to light. Larvae unknown.
