Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   One of the ?brown? ?green lacewings? commonly occurs in residential areas and gardens in Gauteng. Can be flushed from vegetation and also readily attracted to light. Fairly widespread in the northern provinces of SA. Not known from neighbouring countries. Larvae live freely on vegetation, where they are active predators.
