Abstract
During faunal investigation of Neuropterida in two areas of Lombardy (northern Italy), i.e.
Lomellina (province of Pavia) and Val Camonica (province of Brescia), the author also conducted
field research in mixed-fruit family orchards (one orchard in each area) in which plum and cherry trees
are present. More than twenty identified species of Neuroptera (Chrysopidae, Hemerobiidae,
Coniopterygidae) were collected in all on these drupaceous trees. The mountain orchard in Val
Camonica was found to be clearly richer in species than the lowland orchard in Lomellina. The
different eco-climatic, and especially the vegetational features of the two areas explain the differences
in number of species in lacewing populations of the two different orchards.
