Owlfly
Libelloides macaronius
Adult owlflies patrol sunny, flower-rich grasslands, rocky slopes, and woodland edges. They fly with broad, butterfly-like wings but hunt on the wing, catching small flying insects with their legs. Their long clubbed antennae make them resemble butterflies despite being close relatives of lacewings.
