The Brown Lacewing is a small insect belonging to the family Chrysopidae. It is characterized by its delicate, lace-like wings that are typically brown or tan in color. These insects are beneficial in gardens and agricultural settings because they feed on pests like aphids and spider mites during their larval stage. Adult Brown Lacewings are nocturnal and are often attracted to lights at night. They play a crucial role in natural pest control, helping to maintain the balance of ecosystems. Their larvae, sometimes called "aphid lions," are voracious predators, making them valuable allies for gardeners and farmers alike.
