Chrysopa perla, the Pearly Green Lacewing,[1] is an insect species belonging to the green lacewing 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 Шаблон:Convert of length, with a wingspan of Шаблон:Convert.[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]
