That's the craziest thing I've ever seen! You aren't kidding about the garbage truck, now if it would clean the house...LOL -
It was reminding me of one of those Rombas the way it was moving! lol Too bad it's so tiny or I would take it in! -
this little things is amazing! -
In addition to apparently being insectivorous sanitation engineers, lacewings are very beneficial insects to have in the garden. The adults and their larvae prey upon a wide variety of small insects, including mealybugs, psyllids, thrips, mites, whiteflies, aphids, small caterpillars, leafhoppers and insect eggs. -
Isn't it, Mary? It has been fun to find out about it!
-
Thanks for all the information, Douglas! Maybe the little trash collector will decide to stay around!

I added a few new photos so that you can see its size and just what is underneath all that trash!
-
I wonder how they get that all on their backs? -
looks rather scrawny without all of that trash :)

I don't know how they do it, Becky. An article that I read says that some of it is the carcases of their prey! Soooo...take a bite and pitch the remains on your back? lol
-
I thought the same thing, Marg! It looks like that would be a job to carry all your trash around on your back! lol

If he's friendly to the flower garden, bring him on! -
I read that he eats aphids, so I say move in and bring your family! lol

It is interesting, isn't it, Cindy? How I have lived all my life without ever seeing it before I don't know! And yes...thanks everyone for helping me find out what it is!
