Check out the length of the antennae on this Brown Lacewing (Family
Hemerobiidae)!

The one against the window frame goes right to the edge of the photo.

I do not know if adult lacewings (Neuroptera) live for long or feed.
But it must be hard to exist with such unwieldy antennae in a wooded
environment. Most images of lacewings show them with the antennae held
forward as in this photo. This one is snagged in a spider web.

Please correct/refine ID if anyone knows more of these insects.

Nancy
