Chrysoperla Caarnea Attacking Plutella Xylostella (IMAGE) Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology Caption mechanism. (eLife, December 2019, doi:10.7554/eLife.51029). In a stranglehold: The larva of the common green lacewing (Chrysoperla carnea, on the right) is attacking the caterpillar of a diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), a worldwide cabbage pest. Lacewing predators, which are also used as natural antagonists of the diamondback moth, are able to successfully detoxify the plant chemical defenses that they consume with their prey.
