Micromus posticus is a species of brown lacewing in the family Hemerobiidae.[1][2][3] It is found in the Caribbean, Central America, and North America.[2] Both larvae and adults feed on aphids.[1]
Identification
[edit]Micromus posticus measures between 7 and 9.5 mm from length to wingtip.[1] Adults are macropterous.[3] Micromus posticus can be identified by the inner gradate veins on the forewing, which are separated by a distance less than or equal to their length. They also lack conspicuous markings on the face.[1]
