Properly Named, Twice, Pt. 2 - - _TNY_4947

Looking at the wings of a lacewing, it is very easy to understand how it got its vernacular name.

 

The Swedish name, "guldögonslända" is however equally apt as "guld" menas gold and ögon means "eye". This particular one was shot at 3:1 magnification using the MP-E65mm while sitting in a Thuja hedge.
