Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This is probably Dichochrysa tacta, but cannot be sure. If it is D. tacta: it is anothernother of the “brown” “green lacewings”. Fairly widespread and common in the drier western parts of South Africa. Not known from neighbouring countries. Larvae live freely on vegetation, where they are active predators.
