I would like to identify this flying insect. I am hoping it is not a termite. Found flying around our house. Light tan or light green in color. Wings are see through / lace looking.
Thanks, Cara

Lacewing
Hi Cara,
Interestingly, in English, this harmless predatory Neuropteran is called a Lacewing. Adults are attracted to lights, which probably explains why you found it in the house.
