Although the larva has a long large jaw , the small jaw which became thin gets into the slot of the length in the inner side, and it is crowded, and becomes a pipe, and the absorption jaw is formed. A larva pierces the tip part which added game by this large jaw and sharpened, and absorbs humors. This is intelligible if the place which eating of ant lion which is the larva of lacewing is observed.
A compound eye shines with rainbow color, and although the body and wing veneration are green and are a beautiful insect with transparent feather, if grass lacewing is caught, it will release a bad smell. The larva lives on a plant, preys common aphid, and is wearing its abdomen back by dead husks of common aphids which inhaled liquid.
