The aphis lion, also known as the lacewing larva, is a small insect that feeds on aphids and other insect larvae in gardens and orchards. It has a long, thin body and large, sickle-shaped jaws that are used to catch prey. Synonyms for the aphis lion include the green lacewing, goldeneye, and ant-lion. These insects are prized for their pest control abilities and are often used as a natural method of controlling aphid populations. With their distinctive appearance and voracious appetites, aphis lions are a valuable addition to any garden ecosystem.
