This lacewing larva is
the immature stage of a brown lacewing. Brown
lacewings are considered to be very beneficial. They
are small to medium neuropterous insects which are
predaceous both as adults and larvae. They prefer to
feed on aphids, mealybugs, and other soft-bodied
insects. Because of their voracious appetite for
aphids, larvae of both brown and green lacewings are
called "aphid lions." There is an excellent
summary on brown lacewing biology, along with keys to the
genera and species of brown lacewings of Florida in this
Featured Creature article: http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/beneficial/brown_lacewings.htm.
