Green Lacewing Larva (Junk Bug)

Commonly found in gardens, agricultural fields, and forest edges on foliage.

Primarily predatory, feeding on aphids, mites, scale insects, and thrips.

Known as 'trash carriers' or 'junk bugs' because they pile debris and the carcasses of their prey on their backs for camouflage.

Highly beneficial for biological pest control in gardens and farms; harmless to humans, though they may occasionally nip skin if handled.
