Lacewing Larva

Lacewing Larva


We found this insect under a leaf on the buddleja. Putting an unknown bug on my hand might not have been the best plan as I think it might have tried to bite me. I didn't know what this was but I uploaded the photo to flickr and posted it to the British Insects and other arthropods pool and within hours flickr user mountainashe identified it as a lacewing larva. There's two more pictures of it here and here
