Lacewings are net-winged insects in the order Neuroptera. Lacewings are named for the adults’ intricately veined wings, which appear lace-like. There are two families of lacewings commonly found in Ohio: green lacewings (Family Chrysopidae) and brown lacewings (Family Hemerobiidae). Many species of lacewings are considered beneficial insects due to their voracious appetite for insect pests.
