Green lacewings, scientifically known as Chrysopidae, are insects that are highly beneficial to gardens and farms due to their predatory nature. Common synonyms for green lacewings include golden-eyed lacewings, brown lacewings, and dusty-winged lacewings. Some species of green lacewings are also commonly referred to as stinkflies due to the foul odor they emit when they feel threatened. These lacewings are also sometimes known as "aphid lions" as they are natural predators of aphids, mites, and other small insects. With their beautiful green wings and long antennae, green lacewings can be easily recognized in nature, and their presence is always a welcome sight for farmers and gardeners.
