- This page contains pictures and information about Green Black-eyes Lacewings in family
Nymphidae that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
-
-
Larva length 10mm
-
- The above pictures show the flattened disc-like larva, which lies
on the bottom side of a leaf, waiting for prey with jaws widely opened.
-
- Adult
is pale green in colour with black eyes. The moniliform antennae and all legs
are same colour as the body. Wings are clear with thin pale or black
veins.
-
- Adult body length 20mm
-
- We sometimes found this small lacewing
adult attracted by window-light and rest near our window glass. They are
common in Brisbane, although sometime it may be mixed up with the species in family Chrysopidae,
however, its moniliform antenna and wings veins pattern tell us this lacewing is in this
family.
