From Wikipedia
Chrysoperla lucasina is a species of neuropteran of the family Chrysopidae (subfamily Chrysopinae). They are found mainly in the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, in western Asia and northern Africa.
Chrysoperla lucasina can be distinguished from other members of the carnea-group of the genus Chrysoperla by subtle and variable morphological attributes. Species within the genus are largely demarcated by unique vibrational courtship songs, with a distinct, geographically constant combination of long and short songs characterizing C. lucasina. As males and females establish duets of identical songs before copulation, the songs serve to reproductively isolate species and prevent hybridization within the genus.
