  Quite a vicious little thing, reminds me of the butcher bird! I shall have to keep an eye out for it. Posted 3 years ago

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.
