Lacewings are widespread insects; the genus Chrysoperla is very common in North America.
Brown Lacewings are smaller and less common than their bright green relatives, the Green Lacewings. Brown Lacewings can be found in woodlands and gardens. Adults tend to be active from dusk onwards and hide in vegetation during the day.
Ant-lions, Lacewings and Alderflies are related to eachother. You can tell so by looking at their heads and the large wings. The larvae of almost all species are hunters.

Other potential predators of Karner blue butterfly larvae include green lacewings (Chrysopidae), solider beetles (Cantharidae), and damsel bugs [37].
