Green Lacewing Larva (Junk Bug)

Commonly found in gardens, agricultural fields, and low-growing vegetation where prey is abundant.

Carnivorous; primarily eats aphids, mealybugs, scale insects, and other soft-bodied garden pests.

Many species are known as 'debris-carriers' or 'junk bugs' because they camouflaging themselves by attaching the husks of their prey and other detritus to their backs.

Highly beneficial for the ecosystem and gardening as they act as biological pest control; they can occasionally nip human skin if handled, but they are not harmful.
