Thread-winged Lacewing
SOME RIGHTS RESERVED.
Nemoptera bipennis.
Idanha-a-Nova / Portugal
This is not a dragonfly. it is a lacewing (Neuroptera).
This is the most beautiful bug I've ever seen. It is as big as the bigger dragonflies.
This was found on a field on top of a hill next to a large river. There were a couple of them on that area, but I had never seen these before.
Since then, I found this to be locally common on some areas of Alentejo and Algarve (hills or dunes).
