Micromus posticus
A very small brown lacewing, found this one dead and dry on a university windowsill (there's this big windowed corridor that's an absolute deathtrap) so it's a bit beat up but nothing that makes it not identifiable.
Small lacewings aren't usually mounted spread like this since they can just be pointmounted but it wasn't a whole lot more time or effort and it makes looking at the wing venation more convenient. Also looks pretty. Certainly more fun to spread than microleps because at least they don't disintegrate into dust at the slightest blow
You do have to be that kind of masochistic minuten freak though. Personally have a love-hate relationship with them
