Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

The one on the red shovel is what i saw physically bite me, the second with a defined black head i also found that i thought had similar characteristics.

Commentary

Dear Tracy, sorry to hear about your bad experience with the featured insects. The two insects are normally harmless predators of other insects and mites. The one on the pink background is the green lacewing larva, the other one is the snake fly. Both are not known to bite humans. Thank you, Helmuth Rogg
