Description
SOME RIGHTS RESERVED.Nemoptera bipennis.Idanha-a-Nova / PortugalThis is not a dragonfly. it is a lacewing (Neuroptera).www.tolweb.org/Nemopteridae/VIDEOThis is the most beautiful bug I've ever seen. It is as big as the bigger dragonflies. This was found on a field on top of a hill next to a large river. There were a couple of them on that area, but I had never seen these before.Since then, I found this to be locally common on some areas of Alentejo and Algarve (hills or dunes).More >>>List of nerve-winged insects:www.hlasek.com/ccsitokridli1an.html1150
