Junk bug (Green Lacewing Larva)

Found on plants, gardens, and crops globally

Predatory; feeds on aphids, mites, scale insects, and other soft-bodied pests

Known for camouflaging itself using debris and the carcasses of its prey on its back; moves in a jerky fashion to mimic wind-blown debris

Highly beneficial to the ecosystem and gardens as a form of natural pest control; can occasionally nip humans if handled, but it is harmless
