Chrysopa perla

Green Lacewing

Adult green lacewings are delicate insects found in gardens, hedgerows, meadows, and woodland edges. They fly mostly in warm, calm conditions and are often drawn to lights at night. Adults of this group may feed on small insects, pollen, nectar, or honeydew, depending on availability. Their transparent, net-veined wings and golden eyes make them easy to recognize up close.
