Hi dippy I was only thinking about you the other day, ....... and one thing caught my eye was a lacewing nesthouse. It was basically a wooden block with holes in it and you put some stuff in it which is irresistable to lacewings.

I thought it was called a "caravan".....

Check this out, lacewings are a fantastic green fly killer.

Hi hairy rod,  these lace wings i have noticed are a bit like moths. they go for the light either in the caravan or the awning , they are definitely lace wings , but i haven't read anything about them being attracted to light . you don't see them through the day but as soon as you switch the lights on at night they come out. strange, they are also definitely from south otterington as we didn't have them before we went there and we got rid of them then went back and we got them again . now we have got rid of them again i don't think we will be going back to south otterington lol.

Dippy.
