Chrysopa oculata (Golden-Eyed Lacewing) is a species of green lacewing in the family Chrysopidae. It is found transcontinentally from Canada south to Mexico.[1][2] This species was imported to New Zealand in 1926, as a way to control aphid populations; however, it did not become established in the country.[3]
