Chrysoperla rufilabris, also known as the red-lipped green lacewing, is a species of green lacewing in the family Chrysopidae. This species is native to the eastern portion of North America. C. rufilabris are distinguished from other members of the genus found in North America by the broadly red genae, pointed apex of the fore wing, black gradate crossveins, and spinellae on the male genitalia.
The larvae of this species prey upon soft-bodied insects including aphids, thrips, and whiteflies. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Lipped Green Lacewing is recorded against all the insects logged in Boston (8 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
