Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   Another 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.
