Lacewing Eggs (Chrysopidae)

in Beauty of Creativity10 months ago

When I noticed these little stuff on a green leaf, it instantly came to my mind that these are another hidden beauty of botany stuff, turns out, these are just green lacewing eggs laid in small groups, made me wonder. To be honest, this is my first time seeing such an insect eggs lining on a stalk which soon attracted my attention to take some macro shots, as these are very small subjects that surely requires the macro device or otherwise, these wont be able to be seen. These are tiny lacewing eggs, also known as aphid lions since they voraciously attack aphids by seizing them with large, sucking jaws and inject a paralyzing venom. The hollow jaws then draw out the body fluids of the pest, killing it. Of all available commercial predators, this lacewing is the most voracious and has the greatest versatility for aphid control in field crops, orchards, and greenhouses. They actually hatch into some fairly fierce predators: the larvae of green lacewings (Chrysopidae).
