Brown lacewing - Hemerobius stigma

Pelham, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
June 27, 2009
Size: 8 mm, nose to wingtips
I just finished showering and turned around to see my first ever brown lacewing, crawling around by the towel rack. (Apparently there's a screen around here that needs mending, but I'm seeing some neat bugs in the meantime.)
Please let me know if other views/details would help with the ID.
