Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   Unfortunately not possible to identify any closer. It is quite difficult to distinguish between the various green lacewing species without a close examination of the wing venation and the male genitalia. The females of the different species are difficult to separate even if wing venation is clear. Some species are, however, characteristic and can be distinguished from photos
