Hello Mr Bugman.
I have brought another challenge for you. This is a strange lacewing that I have found almost 3 years ago but until now I have not been able to identify it yet. More about this lacewing in http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/12573523
Dysochrysa furcata on Google image shows a similar species, could that be it ? Similar one photographed in Singapore too. http://peacockroyal.blogspot.com/2009/08/nbgy-is-still-safe-punggol.html
I will be waiting for your identification. Thanks in advance.

Hi C.X. Wong,
This really is a beautiful Lacewing. We cannot verify its identification at this time, but we are posting your photo so that our readership can appreciate the diversity of Lacewings in Malaysia.
Italochrysa species.
Just to add to it, there is another Malaysian lacewing, with a very cool wing design

Chun Xing, would you know where I can buy lacewings in Petaling Jaya?
