Her Golden Eye | Golden-eyed Lacewing

Shaking herself awake,
a lacewing preens, her golden eye
scanning a world where
nothing new has happened in years.

"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.
