These insects mating on green antelope horn milkweed are small milkweed bugs, but any idea what that little critter is on the lower right? North Texas zip code 75082. Thanks!
CLOSED: Need ID for critter on wilkweed
It's a larva of a lacewing (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) - voracious predators on aphids and other small soft-bodied insects. See https://texasinsects.tamu.edu/green-lacewing/
Thanks, Flapdoodle!
