Green Lacewing Eggs

Gardens, agricultural fields, and wooded areas worldwide; often found on the undersides of leaves or on house siding.

Adults eat nectar, pollen, and honeydew; larvae (known as 'aphid lions') are voracious predators of aphids, mites, and scale insects.

Eggs are laid at the end of long, silk-like stalks to protect them from cannibalistic siblings and other predators. Larvae undergo complete metamorphosis.

Highly beneficial to humans as biological pest control for gardens and crops. They pose no risk to humans or pets.
