Why are you reporting this puzzle?

well, tonight I have just now seen my first green lacewing of the season, or as I call 'em, stinkybug. They are very pretty with delicate green lacy wings and prominent golden eyes (this photo does not do it justice. They are beneficial as they control aphids, BUT they have a painful bite - I AM NOT AN APHID YOU TOOL! - and if you swat at them they give off a strongly unpleasant formaldehyde smell. If you smush one you are stuck with a nasty odour that can't be washed off, but is, mercifully, quite volatile and goes away after an hour or so.

Lacewings, nature's way of telling me summer is here.

OUCH!

YUCK!

Ah, it's summer.

my pleasure, I just wish the jewel like gold ball of the eye showed better.

They make get trout bait.

Their eyes look like molten gold, they are very pretty, but oooh! the stink!

They sound like real charmers, Mazy. Neat wings, though.
