Chrysopa perla, known commonly as the green lacewing, is an insect species belonging to the family Chrysopidae (subfamily Chrysopinae).

Distribution

This widespread species is present in most of Europe ^[2] and in temperate zones of Asia.^[3]^[4]

Habitat

These insects prefer cool and shady areas, mainly in deciduous woods, wet forests, woodland edges, hedge rows, scrubby grassland and shrubs. ^[5]^[3]

Description

The adults reach 10–12 millimetres (0.39–0.47 in) of length, with a wingspan of 25–30 millimetres (0.98–1.18 in).^[4]^[5] The basic coloration of the body is green. Wings are blue-green with black veins. They turn pale yellow during the winter. Several black markings are present on the head, the thorax and below the abdomen. ^[4] The second antennal segment is black. ^[3] This species is rather similar to Chrysopa dorsalis, showing an oval pale spot between the eyes, which is roundish in C. perla.^[3]

Biology

Adults can be encountered from May through August. ^[5] They are fearsome predators, primarily feeding on aphids, ^[4] occasionally on flower nectar. ^[3]

The females usually lay eggs near aphid colonies. ^[4] Larvae are predators, mainly feeding on Aphididae, Coccidae species and caterpillars (Pieris brassicae, Autographa gamma).^[5] The adult insects hibernate in winter. ^[4]
