Summary edit

Description

Bushcare Day Photography Workshop Explored :D Thanks for the heads up people

Mantid Lacewings are also often referred to as Mantis Flies. The front legs have developed in a very similar fashion to those of a Praying Mantis. These insects are members of a different order though. They're not flies or a mantis but a Lacewing (Order Neuroptera).

A great example of convergent evolution.
