Barber's Brown Lacewing
Sympherobius barberi
Barber's Brown Lacewing is a small brown neuropteran associated with vegetation where aphids, scale insects, and other tiny arthropods occur. The adult flies in short, delicate bursts and rests with its veined wings tented over the body. Its larvae are predatory, while the adult remains a fragile, cryptic insect of shrubs, trees, and field margins. Like other brown lacewings, it is easily overlooked because its dull colors match bark and dried plant material.
