Brown Line Lacewing - Glenoleon berthoudi

Family Myrmeleontidae

This page contains pictures and information about Brown Line Antlions that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
 
Body length 40mm
 
This lacewing has a thin brown line on front wings. It is easy to distinguish this lacewing by its wings.  As most other lacewing species, this lacewing flies clumsily and slowly, just about the ground. It rather finds a stick or stem to rest on and does the camouflage.

We found this lacewing once in a bushland in Burbank Jan 2009.
