fisherwr2 > Brown lacewing larva (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae) on an eggplant leaf feeding on an aphid
fisherwr2 > Transluscent cocoon of a green lacewing pupa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) attached to a pine needle. One component of the cocoon is made from minute threads of protein-rich silk woven together to form the outer structure. An inner layer of lipid material helps prevent the pupa from drying out. The adult chewed a circle around the upper part of the cocoon, pushed up the resulting lid, and climbed out. This cocoon is about 3 mm long. Adult and larval lacewings are important predators on a variety of pests such as aphids; the immatures are sometimes referred to as aphidlions, and look like miniature alligators.

fisherwr2 > Brown lacewing (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae) larva under the debris of prey bodies, plant parts, pieces of wood, hair, etc. that the lacewing places on top of its body to provide camouflage and physical protection from predators and parasitoids. This pile is about 10 times the height of the insect itself
