Found this mantid fly on a lemon myrtle tree this month, April.
Took me a while to find that it is a lacewing, Family Mantispidae.
I wonder if anyone would know what species this might be.
Cheers

I think a
Campion sp., cf. images of
C. tenuistriga and
C. callosus at flickr. If you have specimens you might need a revision by Lambkin (1986): I. General and Drepanicinae
