    It’s a green lacewing! It’s also known as a “stinkfly” since it produces a foul odour when threatened! I learned that the hard way when I had one of these in my bathroom and humanely got it out of there

        Dude they’re insects. They’re not smart enough to know the difference. Most animals aren’t smart enough to know the difference.

          bad joke, spiders are not bugs only insects of the order hemiptera classified as bugs and spiders aren’t even insects. maybe if you drank fewer beer and spent more time studying you would know that but it’s your life

    Lacewing! Super beneficial insect! I try to grow them every year in my garden. They eat aphids and other pests on plants. It’s a friend :)

    Lacewing. They are the adult form of antlions and similar.

    The larvae are really good at muncu BG pests.

    These are friends.
