The larvae of green lacewings (Chrysopidae) may occasionally attack man as temporary ectoparasites, causing papular reactions similar to those produced by gnat bites.

Optimizing decision-making potential, cost, and environmental impact of traps for monitoring olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae).

This work aimed to optimize olive fruit fly (OFF) Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) monitoring and integrated management, thereby ensuring optimal and less-costly decision-making and timely intervention. Field trials in Andalusia (Spain) were undertaken over 2 years to optimize trap model, color, size, and density for the accurate determination of pest spatial distribution and damage as a function of olive cultivar. McPhail traps and yellow sticky panels outperformed the other 4 models with respect to the number of OFF captured.

Article Synopsis
- Adult Chrysoperla externa rely primarily on pollen for protein, and various pollen types affect their biology differently.
- A study compared the performance of C. externa fed different pollen diets against a standard diet (brewer's yeast + honey) and found some pollen diets supported egg production and longevity similar to the standard diet.
- Interestingly, mixtures of pollen from the Fabaceae and Poaceae families did not significantly outperform individual pollen types in terms of enhancing adult performance, challenging initial expectations.
Article Synopsis
- Pseudonotherobius kohlsi and Megalomus? coloradensis are newly identified species of lacewings from the early Eocene era, found in Colorado’s Green River Formation.
- Pseudonotherobius is characterized by a specific crossvein in its forewings and a uniquely dilated hind wing, which sets it apart within its family.
- The genus is tentatively placed within the Carobiinae subfamily, hinting at its similarity to a modern Australian lacewing species.
Most insects were dead when they were named by taxonomists, and predominantly morphological criteria have been used for more than two centuries. But in nature there are populations with individuals looking identical, that turn out to represent two or more different species, and others that look different but are single biological species. Coastal and several continental populations of the green lacewing Chrysoperla mediterranea (Hölzel 1972) had been considered to be one species, based on identical precopulatory "song patterns" (Henry et al.
