Green lacewing

Gardens, fields, forests, and other vegetated areas; adults are often attracted to lights and may enter homes.

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

Adults have delicate, net-veined wings and long antennae. Females lay eggs on slender stalks; predatory larvae are called aphid lions.

Harmless to people and pets. Larvae provide valuable natural control of aphids and other plant pests.
