Debris-carrying lacewing larva (often called trash bug)

Found on plants, trees, and shrubs in gardens, forests, and agricultural fields worldwide.

Carnivorous; feeds primarily on soft-bodied insects like aphids, mites, and insect eggs.

Carries a protective camouflage bundle of dust, lichens, and dead prey carcasses on its back to deter predators.

Extremely beneficial as a natural predator of garden pests such as aphids and scale insects, posing no risk to humans.
