pic of larvae
I took some pictures today of one: http://ctho.ath.cx/pics/new/2007-05-17/ Let me know if they're worth adding here. --CTho 03:29, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You can add them to the Commons with a proper license. From there one of those images can be added to the en.wikipedia. JoJan 08:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Biting insect category inclusion
Would it be OK to add this to Category:Biting insects? Both the larvae and adults bite humans. I'm not sure if there are any academic references to support this, but there are plenty of reports. Example: whatsthatbug.com discussion. You can also just Google lacewing larva bite. (I just caught one biting me.) —mjb (talk) 18:14, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

File:Pseudomallada edwardsi AF 1.jpg to appear as POTD
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Pseudomallada edwardsi AF 1.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on July 10, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-07-10. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:35, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Japanese Lacewing (Neuroptera, Berothidae) catch prey
Would it be fine to include how the Japanese Lacewing catches paralyzed termites via silk webs used for hunting. Compared to their North American relatives this is a neat adaptation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daquanhebron (talk • contribs) 12:47, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Significant verbatim content
Almost the entirety of the article (apart from the last paragraph and a half of the "Use in biological pest control" section and from part of the last sentence under "Systematics and taxonomy" through the "Selected genera" subsection) is identical to a page hosted by the University of California at Riverside. Neither page cites the other, but the source code of the UCR page indicates it was originally published in 2001 by E.F. Legner so could be the original (though it was not archived by the Wayback Machine until 2015). Also, it looks like the majority of the content in question was added to the Wikipedia page in a single edit in 2008. This may also explain why the article doesn't follow a typical style for insect pages on Wikipedia as well as the general lack of cited claims, several of which read like original research or opinion.

I do have a number of scientific papers and books that could be used to effectively re-build the article, if that's needed. That would, however, be a fairly lengthy task, especially tracking down relevant taxonomic changes and maintaining a comparable scope. In any case, there are a few statements that could use clarification, several junior synonyms that probably no longer need to be listed, and misidentified photos that I already have on my to-do list.
