Green Lacewing Larva (commonly known as Junk Bug or Trash Bug)

Commonly found in gardens, agricultural fields, and wooded areas on plant foliage, stems, and tree trunks.

Voracious predators of soft-bodied insects like aphids, mealybugs, scales, and mites; they use curved mandibles to pierce and suck out fluids.

Known for camouflaging themselves by carrying debris, such as dust, lichen, or the hollowed-out carcasses of their prey, on their backs to hide from predators.

Extremely beneficial to ecosystems and agriculture as a natural form of pest control; while generally harmless to humans, they may occasionally provide a mild, non-venomous defensive nip if handled.
