Brown Lacewing

[Paul Iddon]

Thanks to @TimmyG for the ID on this little bug.

Found it on the inside part of the concrte gate post this morning and it's a brown lacewing of the order Hemerobiidae.

First time I have found one so a new bug to chalk up. Cocked up the ISO - this was a 1000 some a bit of NR added (I was going to try for a shooting star last night but didn't get out!) It was alive and flew off when I disturbed it (got a blurry shot of it on my thumb, but that's pants) and this is rotated from the original vertical composition.

Very nice detail Paul and it looks like its bowing down to you

Thanks Graham it was looking to the skies, but odd it had angled its head so.

That's nice Paul, great detail it almost looks like the edge of a saw along the top.

Cheers George - and I thought the same. Wish I had set 125 ISO though...

Really really like this one Paul, framing and detail is absolutely spot on.
