Mallada signatus, commonly known as the green lacewing[2] is a species of insect described by Wilhelm Gottlieb Schneider in 1851.[3]
It is one of the species most commonly found in southern Australia.[4]
They closely resemble Plesiochyrsa ramburi, however, the late instar larva and adults of Mallada signatus are smaller, with minimal dark markings on the head of the adults.[5]
They can be negatively effected by feeding on prey which has been in contact with neem oil.[6]
