Over the weekend I FINALLY received a reply from the ADU virtual museum folks (seems they were having problems which needed sorting, hence the long delay), so I'll submit my lacewings and see what they come up with. \O

I agree w/ your (Toko) ID of my KTP bark lacewing being a Centroclisis (poss. mendax??), NOT Syngenes. Will wait to see if they can supply a species before I change it. :-)

Can anyone help with an ID of this bee? Seen along the Kommetjie seaside boardwalk (which is part of TMNP) in late November 2014.
