Way down below the view of our normal eyesight, nature carries on amazing cycles. See how lacewing larvae affect pest arthropods like spider mites and aphids.
I was around a cluster of trees and saw a few of these beautiful creatures. Before I knew it, there seemed to be a plethora of them. I was unfamiliar with this particular bug, and found myself here. Thank you for the informative and beautiful video. They are simply amazing. I'm not much of a bug person, but I have to say these little guys enchanted me. I could see how the myth of faeries could have originated from these ephemeral moths. I knew they weren't actual faeries, but one could let their imagination drift enough to believe. They were gentle and curious. I just sat there still, and more and more would arrive and investigate the new neighbor. I am going back out again tonight to see them again. Lifelong fan born.
Mathieu Lemieux I have the Trash or Junk bugs. How do I get them out or kill them? Are they dangerous? They give off this , it’s not an order but it makes it hard to breath.. they only bite me, and no one believes they exist. I have fossils of them. Tell me what you think
What are all those numerous white things in some of the shots? I've used lacewing in my garden, and currently am, and I'm not sure if those white things are dead lacewing larvae, larvae between instars, or some kind of shed skin.
@@MikeBlairOutdoors Since making that comment, I've been binging several of your videos. You've a fantastic eye and a remarkable way presenting your visions! I'll definitely be sticking around for more! btw, I appreciate the response!
You say they get their name Lacewing from their copper eyes, but I’m pretty sure it’s from their wings that look like lace? Think you may have got mixed up there, but enjoyed the video all the same :)
