Field Notes

Description:

I found the eggs of unknown lacewing species on a dried branch hanging on a tree (Photo 2) and took them home. After 4 or 5 days the larvae hatched which then released them on a bush where they can eat aphids one of their favorite food.

Habitat:

Forest by a lake

Notes:

The eggs are laid in that way to give them protection against predators and also to prevent cannibalism.
