Moved

Moved from Common Green Lacewings.

Moving upwards again. I've been able to get more info on the other Chrysoperla species over the past year, and the lack of any red on the genae should rule that genus out for this area. Kymachrysa may need to be considered as, while there's a resemblance to some Chrysopa, the particular markings on the genae plus the apparent pale streak down the body don't align well with its typical species. Regrettably, I'm not able to make out the detail of wing venation that sets this genus apart from the others.

Moved from Chrysoperla rufilabris.

not rufilabris

Possibly another Chrysoperla, but definitely a different species. C. rufilabris always has broadly red genae, never black-marked.

Moved

Moved from ID Request.

Moving to Family page in the hopes that Dr. Oswald will have a look and possibly be able to give you a more specific ID.

Green Lacewing, Family Chrysopidae

I'm not sure which one, but somebody on BG can probably tell you.
That's a nice shot of one.

yes, Chrysopidae, possibly Chrysoperla

a head+pronotum closeup needed to go any further

Image added

I'm a real novice when it comes to insects so I don't know what the pronotum is. I tried looking up the term but was not successful in finding it. However, I did add a close up of the head. Let me know if this is what you need.

If you type 'glossary pronotum' in the Search box

you eventually end up here:

I'm not an expert, but the bugs I study - tree crickets - also have pronotums. BTW, lacewings have some similar features with tree crickets.

pronotum definition

It's the dorsal plate (top/back) of the insect's prothorax.
