Neuroptera is an order of insects known for their delicate, membranous wings and intricate veining. This group includes species such as lacewings and antlions, which are often recognized for their unique appearance and predatory behavior. Neuroptera larvae are important in controlling pest populations, as they feed on aphids and other small insects. These insects typically have a complete metamorphosis, undergoing egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages. Adult Neuroptera are usually nocturnal and are attracted to lights. They play a significant role in ecosystems, contributing to both pest control and pollination.
