Hey everyone,

I've found two of these in my room recently.. they both seem to have flown off the sides of the reservoirs whenever I lift them up to pH daily. My girls are only at day 11 of veg, so I think I have time to fix this problem, if it is indeed a problem.

Here are some pictures of the thing

Maybe green lacewing? I need to do some more research - if it is a green lacewing then it says that they predate on aphids and spider mites, but their larvae can also feed on roots :(
any and all help appreciated.

from what i hear the green lacewing lays eggs and goes dormant and re appear every 4 weeks. If that one did lay eggs and it is a lacewing, try some spinosad in 3-4 weeks and they wont like your plants.

According to wiki they eat pollen, nectar and honey dew plus mites aphids and other small arthropods. Their shit is good nutrient aswell so keep it near your plants and it will be your friend. They are even used in biological pest control!
