Green lacewing - Meleoma emuncta
Fredericton, York County, New Brunswick, Canada
September 2, 2010
Is it possible to id this probable Chrysopa lacewing to species? I have many photos of "green lacewings", and they all look like the same species.

Moved
Moved from Common Green Lacewings. Noting the more cylindrical, broadly-spaced scapes. Also, it looks like the facial markings are restricted to a single dark stripe on the genae, which is typical of this species. Wing venation isn't clear here, but it would be another useful trait for separating the two.
