Little Alligator

Chrysoperla carnea (Green Lacewing)

One day, my son, you will blossom into a pretty little lacewing. For now you will have to make do with crawling around and sorting out the aphids for me.

Interesting fact: 

Once they have sucked all the juices out of an aphid, the larvae of some lacewing species use the dried out bodies as camouflage, sticking the skins to their own backs and hunting down more aphid-prey.
