Sunday Bugs: Brown Lacewing
Sunday Bugs: Brown Lacewing
Family Hemerobiidae - Brown Lacewing. Oh Hai!
This little critter hitchhiked into our house in a head of lettuce. In addition to feeding on aphids, lacewings also feed on mites, thrips, soft scales, butterfly and moth eggs, and other soft-bodied prey.
It looks like this one has only one antenna, but its two antennae are actually stuck together from getting wet. Both antennae were normal a few minutes after I let it go outside.
