Nemoptera sinuata, sometimes referred to as the spoonwing lacewing and thread-winged lacewing, is a species of diurnal lacewing within the spoonwing family Nemopteridae. The species is distributed throughout the Balkan peninsula, specifically found in Bulgaria, East Thrace, Greece, and Northern Macedonia. They inhabit forests and open grasslands, with flights near river gorges as well. Appearance
The hind wings are particularly long and slender and are narrower at the base than they are at the tips. The wings are marked with irregular yellow and black bands. At rest the forewings are held over the body, while the hind wings project toward the rear. The larvae are broad and egg-shaped, with short necks and short jaws.
