Chrysoperla rufilabris
On ceiling. Dates: eggs 2/1/11, 13/1/11 nymph 4mm. Is widely used in various situations to control many different pests. Many species of adult lacewings do not kill pest insects, they actually subsist on foods such as nectar, pollen and honeydew. It is their predacious offspring that get the job done.

Hi Argy, first I've got the pic of the eggs, didn't have a clue of what they were - filed and put aside. Then, got the weird looking larvae, took awhile for me to ID it. Once I've got the connection, I just waiting for the adult to come - conclusion: It was a fluke!!! :)
Very good set Chiquita. I especially like the larvae close-ups.
