Drepanacra binocula, known as the Australian variable lacewing, is a species of brown lacewing in the family Hemerobiidae,[8][9] found across Australia and New Zealand, including Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island and the Kermadec Islands.[10]

Description

Australian variable lacewings are typically found in colonies of the insects they prey on.[11] It has been seen feeding on a variety of hosts, including Psyllidae, spruce aphids, pine aphids, whiteflies, Eriosoma lanigerum and Trioza vitreoradiata.[12][11] Drepanacra binocula can be identified by the distinctive shape and brown colour of its wings.[11]

The species has been established in New Zealand since at least 1930.[12] Drepanacra binocula is host to a parasitic wasp, the Lacewing Parasitoid Wasp Anacharis zealandica.[11]
