Drying Up, Pt. 3 - _TNY_0320
Here is a male red lacewing (Cethosia biblis) trying to dry his wet wings while hangning from the spadix of a peace lily (Spathiphyllum wallislii).
He had gotten his beautiful wings completely soaked on the ground and was unable to fly so when offered a finger, he immediately climbed on and then I left him on the flower here in the sun to dry up.
