Trash-carrying bug or Debris-carrying bug (Larva of a Green Lacewing)

Trees, shrubs, gardens, and agricultural fields where aphids and other small soft-bodied insects are found.

Carnivorous. They primarily eat aphids, spider mites, thrips, insect eggs, and other small soft-bodied agricultural pests.

The larva covers its back with debris, including the carcasses of its prey, dust, and plant fragments, using specialized hairs as camouflage and protection from predators.

Highly beneficial to gardeners and farmers as natural predators of major agricultural pests like aphids and mites. They pose no risk to humans.
