Green Lacewing
Chrysoperla rufilabris
Appears: June through September
Beneficial: The green lacewing is considered a natural pest control. Adults are pollinators as they eat pollen and nectar at night. The larvae are called “aphid lions” as they have a huge appetite and feed on softbodied insects, mealybugs, and mites. If no food is around, the larvae eat each other.
