Chrysoperla carnea.
#FotoVorschlag 'Farbe: #Grün (keine Pflanzen)'

Today’s #PhotoSuggestion (Color: #green, but no plants) practically calls for this picture, which I took many years ago in the bathroom mirror after a long hike. It was a bit depressing to trudge through the woods for hours with my finger on the shutter button, only to have this snapshot served up on a silver platter just before brushing my teeth ;-).

As I later learned, this is a fully grown common #lacewing (gemeine #Florfliege), which, in its younger days, effectively took care of those pesky aphids. This little monument is therefore well deserved by the hero of the plants!

There are SO many different #MantisFlies in that third frame - it looks like five or more different species.

A green lacewing, one of several very similar species, at Bath City Farm @bathcityfarm.bsky.social . Loved by gardeners and vegetable growers as their larvae predate aphids. In #Bath #Somerset #UK.
