Hi Rod. This is a very cool-looking lacewing with those distinct patterns on the wings - we don't have any lacewings in N. Am. that look anything like this. This is well photographed against a clean background and clearly shows this insect's predicament. If this was mine, I'd be tempted to clone some of the flash-generated spectral highlights on the head and thorax - minor tweaks to a strong image. Well done!
