Thread-winged antlion

Los Barruecos, Extremadura, Spain

Spoonwings or Nemopteridae are a family of neuropteran insects. They are also called Thread-winged Antlions. Their flight is
delicate and they have a circling flight to avoid walls when they are trapped indoors. The long streamer is conspicuous when
the insects are flying and these are the elongated and spatulate hindwings. [Wikipedia]

Superb image. Really striking. ~V~ I see you have the Tamron 150-600. Did you use an extension tube or teleconverter to get this shot, or does this Tamron focus this closely at 600mm? However you did it, this is very impressive.
