Chrysotropia ciliata

Chrysotropia ciliata

Chrysotropia ciliata (Wesmael, 1841) is a species of "Green Lacewing" (family Chrysopidae). The scientific name (ciliata) refers to the long hairs set on the costal vein at the front of the wings. The larvae of this species are of the debris carrying kind, a feature shared with a few other genera but the larvae of Ch. ciliata cover (almost) their entire body with debris, whereas the larvae of Pseudomallada for example only cover roughly the rear half.
