Common Green Lacewings "Genus Chrysoperla" My favorite time of day to shoot macro is early in the morning before the noise of civilization starts. This was on one of those mornings, the sky was beautiful.

The Common green lacewing

"Chrysoperla carnea", known as the common green lacewing, is an insect in the Chrysopidae family. It is found in many parts of America, Europe and Asia. The adults feed on nectar, pollen and aphid honeydew but the larvae are active predators and feed on aphids and other small insects. It has been used in the biological control of insect pests on crops.
