The Lacewing Digital Library (LDL) is a web portal designed to provide convenient access to a wealth of digital information pertaining to the lacewings, antlions, fishflies, snakeflies and related insects of the superorder Neuropterida (orders Neuroptera, Megaloptera and Raphidioptera). The LDL portal provides access to multiple on-line sources of information about neuropterid insects, world neuropterists, and related topics of interest. To access resources available through the portal select from the items found in the menu bar above, or choose a resource in the selection box below.

NEW! The LDL project team is pleased to announce the latest additions to the Lacewing Digital Library—the introductory module to the Interactive Digital Keys to the Neuropterida Genera of the World project, and the Interactive Digital Key to the Psychopsidae Genera of the World. The introductory module provides an overview of the scope and development plan for the Neuropterida digital keys series, and the psychopsid key represents the first completed key to be publicly released in this series.

Additional, forthcoming, LDL components that are currently under development include an updated and redesigned version of the Bibliography of the Neuropterida, and a digital key to the Sisyridae genera of the world.
