@tetzoo.bsky.socialThis is Chrysoperla, Common green lacewing. So striking that I photograph them whenever I see them. Lacewings are neuropteridans, close within holometabolans to snakeflies, alderflies and kin. They're predators of aphids; Chrysoperla is a cosmopolitan genus. #insects #naturalhistory
