this is the predatory larva of a brown lacewing (family Hemerobiidae) - possibly a Micromus, but cannot be sure without rearing. All known larvae of Hemerobiidae are voracious and active predators that live on plants and actively pursue prey such as aphids and other small Homoptera. They are consequently valuable biocontrol agents. |
