Could someone please help me identify the dead insect I photographed when it was drifting on the surface of a pond near Bad Münstereifel, Germany (Cologne region) in late June, 2011? I have already asked some of my biologist friends, but they aren't sure because the damaged wings. Thanks a lot for your help.

My thanks go to Poland. I'm very grateful for your help. That's definitely one step forward and I assume that's all that's possible on the basis of the picture. Apologies for the typing errors - I was somewhat in a hurry and had not yet got properly used to my new keyboard with smaller letters.
Kind regards,
Hans Theo K.

Trotzdem gehen wir weiter! Der nächste Schritt: Familie Chrysopidae Wink (Goldaugen). Mehr kann ich nicht vorschlagen. Gruss aus Wroclaw. Andrzej

Das ist ja eine nette Überraschung, hatte gar nicht mehr mit einem weiteren Kommentar gerechnet. Ich habe mal in den mir verfügbaren allgemeinen Werken nachgeschaut und kann's gut nachvollziehen. Das Tier hatte mich zunächst nur wegen des perlmuttartigen Glanzes der Flügel als Fotoobjekt gereizt, aber dann will man's doch wissen...
Nochmals ganz herzlichen Dank
Hans Theo
