Grünes Perlauge

Order: Neuroptera
Family: Chrysopidae, Lacewings

Size: 10mm
Wingspan: 25-30mm
Distribution:Europe, Parts of temperate Asia

There are two Chrysopidae-species which are quite common, this one, greenish with blue spots on the abdomen and a green one with a "golden eye" (Chrysoperla carrea, Stephen, 1836)
They feed on aphids and if you look closer you will see that this specimen is just eating one.

Bonjour Anne,
Another super-fine macro from you!
I like your POV to capture this insect eating lacewing with superb sharpness and lighting. The composition as it hangs on the grass is excellent and the BG just right.
Thanks for posting this of an insect not often seen on TN.
Bonne soirée et bon weekend,
Ivan

Hello Anne
Perfect capture taken with sharp details and natural colors.

Ciao Anne,
bellissima macro di questo piccolo e grazioso insetto ripreso con eccellente definizione, mi piace molto la composizione e l'effetto TD con uno sfondo stupendo; è un genere di macro che con l'attuale attrezzatura non faccio, non riuscendo ad avvicinare abbastanza il soggetto.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona serata
Con amicizia
Ciao Maurizio

Hi Anne

Waoo, que matavilla Anne. Suaves y fieles colores al contraluz muy bien captados. Delicadeza y eficacia en la técnica en todo el conjunto.
Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.

Feeding on aphids will keep this one in sharp shape!::-) That is a compliment to you as well as the insect!
Bob

Hi Anne,
very nice perching position of this sharp and unique insect. I like the light that gives a good glow from the BG.
Nice sharpness on the wings that promotes wonderful graphical impact.
Lovely composition indeed.

Regards,
Foozi

Bonsoir Anne.

Bravo pour la photographie de ce neuroptère, dans son élément.

J'apprécie la belle composition en diagonale ascendante de gauche à droite, avec une rupture en seconde diagonale descendante sur l'épillet qui supporte l'insecte. L'on s'attend à le voir tomber ou s'envoler.

Très belle netteté tout au long du sujet qui est excellement mis en valeur sur un arrière plan d'une neutralité appropriée.

Couleurs et contrastes très naturels et réalistes. Jeu des lumières très "soft". Bien joué.

Merci pour la partage.

A bientôt pour d'autres photographies

Philippe
