Green Lacewing (Chrysopidae, Neuroptera)
Here is a gorgeous Green Lacewing (Chrysopidae, Neuroptera) on dead seed capsules of native White Sage (Salvia apiana, Lamiaceae) this morning. They have remarkable eyes, see this photo for a closer look. (San Marcos Pass, 14 August 2019)
It was warm today, in the low 90s. There was an annoying breeze from the ocean side of the mountains which helped cool things down this morning, though it kept everything in motion and made it hard to get my photos. We're under a NWS Heat Advisory through Thursday night, then it's expected to cool down for the weekend.
