I saw this bug go on the side of the house out of some old fashion lilacs - it stayed around a very short time and then left - early spring and varying temperatures - either 70 degree one day or 40 the next. I only got two pictures of it before it left. This is the better of two pictures. Is it a type of lacewing?

Yes, I think it's in the family of brown lacewings, Hemerobiidae

I would say yes - I think the picture is too poor quality to id down to species level. I checked out and it look strongly like Hemerobiidae - thanks - I will have to try check web sources like Bugguides as there are few pictures or description on Bugfiles.
