Green Lacewing

Green Lacewing
John Acorn, in his book "Bugs of Alberta" describes these Green Lacewings as "beautiful, smelly and mean"! Lacewings are predators and eat mainly aphids.They are "friends of the gardener." "Young Lacewings are so vicious that the mother Lacewing lays each egg on the top of a long, slender stalk, so that the first larva to hatch doesn't eat all of its brothers and sisters before they can get out of the egg."
