More Peculiar Lacewings

For those of us fond of the often-underappreciated order Neuroptera, the oddities of that order—the chimerical mantidflies (Mantispidae), the gas-weaponry-wielding beaded lacewings (Berothidae), and the chrome-eyed owlflies (Ascalaphidae), to name a few—are especially fascinating; and to that list, I would add the giant and moth lacewings, the latest subjects of my personal blog.
