Not really a rare one but this was my 2nd time see it in my country …. and should consider a rare insect for myself ….
and this was under same order with my belove lacewing (Order Neuroptera) that’s why I saw some lacewing eggs around the area … but it belong to owl-fly instead …
this is a bug rest a lot .. but not easy to look for it as it can quietly fly near by you but as long as you found it , it allow you get close to it … even at night torch light can direct to it for minutes it will still stay still … a beautiful and good macro model
a collection of Owl-flies
Thanks a bunch for trying to explain the terminlogy to the inexperienced persons!
