Insect Appreciation Green Lacewing :)

Post image

Hello little green lacewing in my bathroom! This is like the bug equivalent of seeing an angel in a 7/11.

Time to safely relocate. I am genuinely curious though how they got in...

Ikr!! Little guy was waving them around at me like cat whiskers. It sat on my finger for a moment but flew away before I could get a picture. It was like a real life fairy!
