HAPPY MACRO MONDAY ~ LACEWINGS LAST FLIGHT

I had to wait on the backporch last week for a chicken to finish cooking. So instead of being bored, I started exploring the window and outdoor light to see if there were any interesting photos waiting in the wings. The green lacewings are attracted to the porchlight and are quite beautiful, but this one crash landed or got tangled up in the ever present spider webs surrounding the window. By the way, lacewings are very beneficial to the garden. Their larva are called aphidlions and they are great hunters.

You can see the location on the window, and a rare glimpse of the photographer. I'm shy.
To see the rest of the MM bunch, visit Lisa at http://lisaschaos.com/. There are some serious photographers over there.
