Split-footed lacewings
Scientific name: Nymphidae
Description
Nymphidae also known as Split-footed Lacewings. Yes, they are indeed relatives of green lacewings, which is reflected in both their appearance and name. Their habits are also very similar. They are both predatory and can solve some of the pest problems in the garden. They are good helpers for farmers. However, Nymphidae is rarer than green lacewings, so it is a lucky thing to be able to observe Nymphidae. In addition, the larvae of Nymphidae also look very strange. They usually have a flat body, and the side edges of the body are covered with slender thorn-like protrusions. They have protective colors and stick there quietly with an attitude of "I am not easy to mess with".
