Description
Found this lacewing on a small table on my porch when I arrived home from work the other day. I thought it might have been dead, as they usually don't just sit in a spot like that. Upon further inspection I seen it was still alive. Though I do think this one had a rough spell of it's short life and was nearing the end.
I placed it on the hibiscus off the porch and snapped some shots. It remained there for next day and a half. Was still there when I left for work this morning. By the time I returned home it was gone.
As for Lacewings, this one was larger than most I have seen.
Thanks for looking and comments. Have a good Friday everyone!

Strange creature, fascinating macro. That eye is pretty wild - looks like it has two pupils (do insects even have pupils?)...
