What is another word for lacewings?
Pronunciation: [lˈe͡ɪsuːɪŋz] (IPA) 
Lacewings are also known as antlions, aphidlions, and owlflies. The antlion name comes from the larval stage of lacewings, which trap ants and other insects in the sand. Owlflies, on the other hand, get their name from their resemblance to owls with their large, round eyes. Aphidlions prey on aphids and other small insects, making them beneficial insects for gardeners and farmers. In addition to these names, lacewings are also sometimes called needle bugs due to their long, thin bodies, and goldeneyes because of their metallic, gold-colored wings. No matter what name they go by, lacewings are fascinating insects with a wide range of common names.
