Ribbed Brown Lacewing (Hemerobius costalis)Observer
perksimagesDescription
Since there doesn't appear to be a 'White Lacewing' family, I'm assuming that this is a teneral Brown Lacewing which has just emerged from the pupal stage and hasn't darkened yet. Whatever it is, it has exquisitely veined wings!

Blue-winged Olives (Genus Baetis)Observer
perksimagesDescription
Along with Dragonflies and Damselflies, Mayflies belong to an ancient group of insects known as the Palaeoptera, meaning 'old-winged'. Scientifically, Mayflies are known as the order Ephemeroptera, a name referring to the short, or ephemeral, adult stage which lasts only a few hours or, at most, a couple of days. This image was made more than a decade ago with my first DSLR.
