| | | New to me! Hello all - this one is a new one for me. It was quite small, maybe around 10/12mm in length - anybody know what it is?? |

| | | Re: New to me! It looks like a brown lacewing, although the head looks a bit strange. I know you like taking pics of insects with strange looking heads!

| | | Re: New to me! It's one of the Brown Lacewings. I'm not sure whether it will be possible to identify to species level but someone might manage it!

| | | Re: New to me! If it helps anyone, here's mine. The pic enlarges again showing the wing venation which looks the same. I could turn the pic on it's side to make it easier.
This is one I have regularly, it was on the back door on a dull day but I sometimes see one at night attracted to the light, always on the door or frame.
