Junk bug (Green Lacewing Larva)

Found in gardens, crops, and forests where aphids and other soft-bodied insects are present.

Voracious predators of aphids, mites, thrips, and other small insects.

Known for camouflaging themselves by carrying the husks of their prey and other debris on their backs.

Highly beneficial to the ecosystem as biological pest control; rarely, they may give humans a harmless tiny nip if they land on skin.
