Moved
Moved from Chrysopa incompleta.

Note the very different body markings, particularly the lack of broad black spots on the prothorax. This is a green lacewing, but a member of a separate genus. Please be careful about moving images to a species you aren't familiar with (especially as green lacewings require rather minute traits to ID).

Chrysopa incompleta
Hi Sarinole-

Rather than being a mayfly, I believe this to be a Green Lacewing.

Whoops!
You are so right, Roger. My mistake.
