Abstract: Seven green lacewings species were identified, but the lacewing diversity is low. In all cases, the eurytopic generalist predator Chrysoperla kolthoffi was the dominant species. Adults flied from May (wintering generation) to autumn, showing a peak in July. The occurrence of preimaginal instars suggests three generations. Four brown lacewing species were recorded, among them Micromus variegatus was the most abundant. They flew mainly in July and August.
