A family of small terrestrial predatory insects with lacy wings, related to lacewings and antlions, that feed on small arthropods.
From Greek 'hemera' (day) + 'bios' (life) + '-idae' (family suffix). Named for their active daytime behavior and predatory lifestyle.
Hemerobiidae are the insect equivalent of undercover heroes—they look fragile and ethereal with their delicate wings, but they're ruthless hunters that can control garden pests naturally.
