Brown lacewing

Vegetation, gardens, and woodland edges; adults may also enter buildings, attracted to lights.

Larvae and adults prey on aphids, mites, and other small soft-bodied insects.

Slender, brown insects with long antennae and clear, veined wings held roof-like over the body. Larvae develop on plants and actively hunt prey.

Harmless to people and useful natural pest predators; they do not damage furniture or wood.
