Seeing this lacewing from above, it appeared to be emerald green. I managed to take few shots and would like to know more about it if anyone can help. Is it a male of female etc. It was on a fennel plant where there are a few aphids appearing now.

Moved
Moved from Green Lacewings.

Wing venation puts it in Chrysopa. Markings (dark antenna, stripes on pronotum, dark ring around antenna) and location indicate C. coloradensis.

Got me....
Geez, I don't know how to tell the genders apart...I don't know that you can do that from an image anyway. Moving this lovely shot to family guide page for now.
