What is this insect?

[Bobkatar]

I found this under a leaf..

 

[bam0813]

Lacewing?

 

[Bobkatar]

I think too but im not sure its a predator right? If it's lacewing?

 

[bam0813]

Yes if that's what it is

 

[Bobkatar]

So if its lacewing should be afraid of insects? I mean should be amphids or anything on the plant? I didn't see anything else on it

 

[bam0813]

If that's what it is I wouldn't sweat it too much unless I started seeing more. Just because its foraging doesn't necessarily mean its finding anything there . Just be vigilant, looks like you are though.

What can i do to avoid them ? Im growing outdoors

The winged ones are pregnant. In fact they all are. Be on the lookout. Get some yellow sticky cards and spray with the safe insecticide of your choice.

Feed silica and use the spray of your choice. Also if there are ants nearby they have to go too, because they will raise, transport to your plants and protect the apids.

 

[Bobkatar]

[xtsho]

Just spray some neem.
