#LichenSubscribe: I was looking at a loose clump of lichen on one of my reliable mite boulders when I noticed it was unusually…mobile. A lichen-carrying lacewing, _Leucochrysa pavida_!
Some fascinating information and tips on distinguishing this species from similar North American debris-carrying lacewings here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/265445
Ous de la família d'insectes Chrysopidae, coneguts com a crisopes. Els ous són petits i ovalats, les femelles els col·loquen en el vèrtex d’un filament sedós allargat, que pot mesurar diversos mil·límetres. Aquesta estructura protegeix els ous dels depredadors i del canibalisme entre les larves un cop desclouen.

Among fungi, including mushrooms and molds, there exists a wide range of yeast species that do not produce mycelium but instead grow as single cells through the processes of budding and division. Because yeasts multiply unicellularly, they are well suited to a liquid environment containing nutrients, and a wide variety is obtained from sap, nectar, sludge, and other sources.
Camouflage*! This little thing is the larva of a green lacewing! It has a bunch of detritus stuck to its back so it can safely hide from predators, while using the stabby bits on its face to kill common garden pests like aphids; these things are voracious predators!
*Omg I spelt it right first time!

A green lacewing larva (f. Chrysopidae) eating an aphid in Central Park in late May. Lacewing larva are a bit terrifying, but the adults are nearly harmless.

The larva from a green lacewing (f. Chrysopidae). These are one of the bugs where the larval form is terrifying but the adult is surprisingly weak. At least this one isn't wearing the corpses of its victims as camouflage.
