Lacewings, golden eyes

Family Chrysopidae

Lacewings are very useful insects. Their larvae prefer to eat aphids and mites. The long body and wing veins of lacewings are usually yellowish or greenish. The eyes are protruding and have a strong metallic glow (lacewings are also often called golden eyes) and they occasionally stray into human dwellings at night, but usually sit in one place and disappear outside again at dawn. They pose no danger whatsoever.
