Junk bug (Green Lacewing Larva)

Found in gardens, agricultural fields, and wooded areas where prey is abundant.

Mainly hunts soft-bodied insects like aphids, mites, and thrips; they are voracious predators.

Many species exhibit 'trash-carrying' behavior, where they attach debris and carcasses of prey to their backs for camouflage; they are active hunters that move quickly.

Highly beneficial to the ecosystem and gardeners as biological control for pests. While they can occasionally nip human skin if handled, they are not venomous or harmful.
