Moved from Green Lacewings. Thanks John, and Stephen, for another new one for BugGuide. (I have photos of this species as well, I believe--that is why I wanted to go ahead and create a new guide.)

#210792 Identification – Chrysopa nigricornis
Identification. A rather large, pale Chrysopa species. Note the almost entirely unmarked pronotum, and the almost entirely pale head capsule, with only one pair of small dark spots, one on each side of the clypeus. The proximal parts of the antennae are usually (though not always) darkly colored.
