Hemerobius stigma

Hemerobius stigma
Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve, Moore County, North Carolina, USA
March 18, 2007
Size: 6 mm
This Hemerobius, presumably stigma, landed on my hand. I captured it, posed it for a photo session, and released it. Length measured in place--to tip of abdomen about 6 mm in a natural pose, about 9 mm from head to tip of wings. I was able to get some good macros, and in this photo, the antennae were in one plane, so you can see their structure from base to tip--beaded, i.e., moniliform, I believe.

This sort of macro on a white background really shows sensor dust, so I have removed that on the background, but not altered the insect any.

Thanks, other neuroptera needing attention
John, thanks so much for your help with the lacewings and mantidflies you just examined. If you get a chance, I have a few photos from Texas that need attention...

Mantidflies, perhaps Dicromantispa:


An antlion, Brachynemurus or perhaps, Scotoleon?


A Brachynemurus, any ideas on species?


Many thanks,
