Hello,

It is hard to distinguish between Chrysopidae and Hemerobiidae. Some larva use remains of their preys to hide themselves inboth families, as far as I know. There is a way to make a distinction by the opening of the mouth parts and the proportions of the head, but I never succeeded.

By the way, there is something of the neck of this specimen...
