Okay, I know it's a Lacewing, and I know he likes to chew gum .... 
Probably Chrysoperia carnea?  |

I don't know how I would manage without your invaluable help, Alan ... 
14 species, maybe, but how many have green bodies? |

Brilliant picture of one of the green lacewings - *most* commonly Chrysoperla carnea but, as noted, several of the 'green lacewing' family are brown. You won't get a definite identification from this photo.
But what is it doing? I noticed early last month (before the rainy season began) that many of the insects that I photographed were sucking up drops of water rather than feeding (on nectar, aphids or whatever) but this fluid looks murky - is it extruding digestive juices? I'm totally ignorant about how adult lacewings feed - need to llok it up! Quote: |
