Green lacewing

Found on vegetation in gardens, fields, and woodlands; adults may enter homes attracted to lights.

Adults feed mainly on nectar, pollen, and honeydew; larvae prey on aphids and other small soft-bodied insects.

Adults have delicate, net-veined wings and are often active at night. Females lay eggs on slender stalks; predatory larvae are called aphid lions.

Harmless to people and pets, and beneficial in gardens and crops because larvae control aphids and other pests.
