Chrysopidae - Green Lacewing (2 photos)
Chrysopa and Chrysoperla genera form the family of the Chrysopidae... 85 genera and around 1.200 species.. I don't risk an identification. Thou Chrysoperla mediterranea is the most common in Soth of Europe and Chysoperla Carnes is the most common specie in the North (of Europe)
Since Chrysopas ans Chrysoperlas are very smiliar to the naked eye, they are usually identified by their "singing" , the vibrations they do to call a mate.
These beasties are highly beneficial for the agriculture and gardening... like ladybugs they feed on aphids, mits and other pests....
