It was exciting to see these beautiful lacewings again yesterday and today fluttering around the plants. Very little is known about its eating habits or what its larvae look like. Its hind wings are modified into a stalk with expansions, hence the name Spoon winged lacewing. Photo: Jean

Chasmoptera hutti has a common name of Spoon-winged lacewing. We were very excited when this lacewing fluttered onto the grass-stalk in front of me. It didn't stay long. This one was about in total 4.5cm from the tip of its head to end of its tail. Much smaller than one we found last year. One pair of its wings are modified into the stalked hindwings with subapical expansions, hence the name "spoon-winged lacewing". Explored: Nov 13, 2011 #344 Thanks everyone
