The legend who started it all. Croissant was found by the students during lunch in the park. At that point, we decided to do a DNA barcoding project. Under the microscope, it clearly looked like some proto-insect. So we decided it was a larva and would only know of what species if we barcoded it.

Results

Croissant was identified as a Green Lacewing of the species Chrysoperla rufilabris (EOL). So he had to be a larval form. These larva are great for pest control because they eat other nuisance insects in the garden. Unknowingly, the group captured an adult later on called Zeñon.
