Lacewing Eggs :)

They are friends for our hobby. The babies are carnivorous and the adults are very beautiful!

Lacewing larvae feed on many different pest insects. In general, they attack the eggs and the immature stages of most soft-bodied pests such as: aphids, thrips, spider mites, sweet potato & greenhouse whitefly, mealybugs, leafhoppers, and the eggs and caterpillars of most moths.

Adult green lacewings are pale green, about 12-20 mm long, with long antennae and bright, golden eyes. They have large, transparent, pale green wings and a delicate body. Adults are active fliers, particularly during the evening and night and have a characteristic, fluttering flight.

Mi placer :)

Everytime a new bug comes in my room I capture / google, then release but not mosquitos and stingers they die. If it's a honey bee I try my best to catch and set free.

A month ago a beautiful green bug flies into my room. Their flight is quite nice to watch. They flutter and hover very gracefully and the wings give off rainbow colors :). I captured and researched and placed in my garden but no eggs ever found. You are VERY LUCKY :).. Good luck!!
