Green Lacewing Larva (Junk Bug)

Gardens, agricultural fields, and deciduous forests worldwide

Predatory on soft-bodied insects like aphids, mites, and scale insects

Often covers its back with the carcasses of its prey and other debris (known as 'trash carrying') to camouflage itself from predators and sneak up on prey.

Extremely beneficial to ecosystems and gardeners as biological pest control; however, they can occasionally give humans a minor, harmless nip if handled.
