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 Drepanicinaehttp://insects.ta...5s-851.pdf; II. Calomantispinae and Mantispinae http://insects.ta...6s-853.pdf

While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.
