Definitions

Any insect of the brown lacewing family (Hemerobiidae).

Examples

“Recent hemerobiids (brown lacewings) are terrestrial insects and both adults and larvae prey on small soft-bodied arthropods.”

“Hemerobiids often are active at relatively low temperatures; thus they can be useful as biological control agents in temperate regions early in the season when other natural enemies remain inactive.”

“Coccinellid beetles and hemerobiids (brown lacewings), and other such predators are most likely to have a major impact on aphid densities.”
