Back in December I had gone to run some errands and came out of a shop to find this beautiful little green lacewing (Chrysoperla rufilabris) perched on my truck window. I have to say I was completely surprised. These pretty little insects are pretty common during the spring and summer, but I’ve never seen one in the middle of winter before. We had already seen some light frosts by that time, and honestly, I had been seeing very few insects at all for awhile. I was lucky enough to be able to snap a couple shots before she flew off to her next destination. I always enjoy seeing thsee graceful little insects, but it was a special treat to see one in December, even if it was only briefly.
